Episode notes

Internal polarizations, where different parts of us have conflicting desires, can lead to feeling stuck. It's common to view one part as good and the other as bad, but this approach creates imbalance. Instead of siding with one part, understanding the underlying motives driving these desires is key. Recognizing that all parts are trying to protect us allows for finding the 'third path,' which involves considering a different perspective that values all parts. To navigate internal conflicts, it's helpful to approach it like a negotiation in the business world - inviting all parts to the table, asking questions, and engaging in a dialogue rather than a monologue. By listening to all concerns and making an informed decision, we can reach the best outcome for everyone involved.

Feeling stuck and can't break free? Neuropsychotherapist and author Britt Frank shares science-based insights on getting unstuck. Learn what underlies stuckness, how to reframe procrastination, collaborate with your inner parts, and move forward with self-compassion.

Britt offers eye-opening new perspectives on relationships, play, possibility and more. Discover her powerful tools from The Getting Unstuck Workbook: Practical Tools for Overcoming Fear and Doubt - and Moving Forward with Your Life to overcome fear, doubt, and shame and start making real change. If you've ever felt trapped in life, this episode will give you a breakthrough understanding and practical way to get unstuck.
