Episode notes

Procrastination is a fear response for whatever reason conscious unconscious logic illogical your brain thinks if you do the thing something bad will happen. We procrastinate not because we're sabotaging ourselves but it's a suboptimal effort itself protection from a variety of things. I ask people like a good therapy assignment tell yourself at the end of the day to write down what are 10 lies that you told either to yourself or to other people and it's not a shame thing It's not like going on as a terrible person it's like you can only be dishonestYou can only be fully honest so many days in a row So let's just start with what's true I don't want

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 unique and powerful techniques and approaches which help 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.
Bringing together research-backed solutions that range from shadow work to reparenting, embodied healing, and other clinical practices, along with empowering personal stories, this book is a hands-on road map for moving forward with purpose, confidence, and the freedom to become who you’re truly meant to be.
