Episode notes

There's no such thing as an unmotivated person. The question is whether you're motivated by fear, or are you motivated by choice? To say, unjus so lazy is a mis nomar. It's not true than is accurate. And if we don't know that motivation is first physiological and cognitive seconds, we're going to miss out on a whole bunch of stuff that's really important.

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.
