Episode notes

We're very prone, as these social primate beings, to glom on to identity. And then with the power we have now very quickly forming communities around anything. We set up camp and we build monuments to our issues. When you're lost in the abyss, having something to cling on to is reasonable but it's not a good place to set up camp forever. Nt, take a break there, grab a snack, drink some water, and then let's get moving on.

Feeling stuck? Can't build momentum to escape all the loops keeping you from moving forward? Our guest in this episode is professor, author, therapist, and speaker Britt Frank, a trauma specialist who treats people with a unique and powerful set of techniques and approaches which, taken together, helps clients to get out of the feeling of being STUCK.

In the show, we nerd out with Britt about how hard it is to be a person, and though this interview is supposed to be about her new book - "The Science of Stuck, Breaking Through Inertia to Find your Path Forward - at least of half of this interview turned out to be was wide-ranging conversation chasing down many nested tangents about everything from procrastination to somatic markers to trauma to the multitudes of the self and more.
