Britt Frank is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert. She received her bachelor's from Duke and her Master's of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Britt is also the author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward This is her second time on the podcast and today we are going to discuss many of the themes of her work but we are also going to chat about Britt's incredible story. She struggled for more than two decades with relationships, chemical/behavioral addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and complex PTSD.  After finding her way out of that mess (with a lot of help and a brief stint in a religious cult), Britt changed careers, went back to graduate school, and became a therapist. Today on the show we discuss: why you can't manifest what you want if you haven't worked on yourself, how to finally end your negative self talk, why positive affirmations don't always work, the real reason you may be "stuck" and what you can do about it, why small wins are so crucial for changing your life, why Britt feels you need to be aligned to be successful and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

It matters who your friends are. This episode starts with some interesting Gallup research that shows how the people you hang out with affect who you are in both good and bad ways. Source: Tom Rath author of Well Being (https://amzn.to/3EekZb7) Ever feel stuck? Most of us have, whether it's stuck in a job or a love relationship – or just a general feeling of being stuck in life. So how do you get unstuck? That's the important question I explore with Britt Frank. She is a therapist and author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward (https://amzn.to/3Efv33v). Many alternative therapies are looked down upon – and sometimes, rightfully so. After all, there isn't a lot of proof they work. Still, some things that have been labeled “woo-woo” or mystical do seem to have benefits even though no one is exactly sure how they work. These include things such as visualization, massage, aroma therapy, nature, kindness and so on. Sometimes the promises made regarding the power of these therapies are overstated. Still, there may still be something to them. Here to talk about this is Dr. David Hamilton. He is a writer and speaker and author of several books including Why Woo Woo Works (https://amzn.to/3JLtBXI). It is pretty clear that people who eat fast tend to eat more. Seldom is that a good thing. There is a simple technique to help fast eaters slow down and eat less and maybe end up losing weight.

Yelling at your kids, fighting with your spouse, and struggling to breathe under the overwhelming weight of daily chaos? Constantly wondering, "Why am I like this?" or "Am I broken?"Trust me, we've all been there. We get trapped in these ruts of doubt, self-blame, shame, and not-enoughness, not only in parenting but in many other parts of our lives.But I have good news.

This is my wrap up on this series on anxiety, though running parallel with it was the topic of trauma. My muse and resident expert was Britt Frank, a survivor of much trauma and trial. Britt is a renowned therapist and author of The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward. She turns our perspective on anxiety upside down, and gives us a fresh look at what trauma is and how to come to a reckoning with it. In episode three I brought on past guest, Britt's friend and associate, and one of New York City's most in demand relationship therapists, Vienna Pharaon, author of The Origins of You: How Breaking Family Patterns Can Liberate the Way We Live and Love. From both of these experts I've come away with 9 points on anxiety, and 9 points on trauma, that I'm now holding and working to learn and engage with in my own life. I'll share them with you now.

We are looking at trauma not necessarily at the tragic level, but defined as, “a lasting, negative, and limiting emotional response that often results from living through a distressing event.” To this degree, nobody is immune. This is my series on anxiety. I had brought Britt Frank in as my expert and we talked through the message in her book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward. This is part three in the series where I bring in a peer to discuss the topic, and I have with me Vienna Pharaon. Vienna is one of New York City's most sought after relationship therapists, she has over 700k followers on Instagram, and I did a series with her around the message in her book, The Origins of You: How Breaking Family Patterns Can Liberate the Way We Live and Love. Vienna is who recommended Britt to me. In this discussion, actually near the latter part, I ask Vienna about giving gravity to the trauma's in our life and she actually corrects me and says we want to acknowledge them, but not give to much weight to them and distort them. The mic drop happens when she says, ““When we acknowledge something, we fear it gives power to IT, when instead, it gives power to US.” Acknowledge, don't distort.

According to the school of life.com “Many of us spend a large part of our lives, in one way or another, feeling stuck - that is in a state where a strong desire to move forward on an issue meets with an equally strong compulsion to stay fixed where one is.” Whether that's in our career, relationships, friendships, family, ambitions, struggles, addictions, we hit a wall and can't see past it. Feeling stuck can make us feel frustrated, down, trapped, unmotivated, and we blame and shame ourselves for feeling this way. Britt Frank is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert, speaker, and author of 'The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path'. And according to Britt, if you are feeling stuck, the good news is, you're not lazy, crazy, or unmotivated. Your brain is NOT your enemy... it's actually on your side! In this episode of The Happier Life Project, Britt explains how anxiety plays such an important role in stuckness and why it's so important to differentiate between critical awareness and critical self talk. Britt and host Gabby, also discuss why so many people feel trapped and stuck in the workplace and why boredom could be a sign of burnout.

We've all been there: Ghosted by a donor and wondering why, why, why? My guest on this episode of What the Fundraising is showing us how to redirect our minds, dismantling the reflexive responses that play in our heads and inhabit our bodies.  Britt Frank, a somatic psychotherapist, trauma expert, and author of "The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward," walks us through the many ways in which our reactions (and overreactions) are embedded within our bodies.  Because so many of us are detached from our own sensations, we revert automatically to our brains in search of solutions. And that's all too often pinging around inside our heads? Lots of noisy self-doubts, recrimination, and other negative thoughts that do not serve. As Britt explains, however, we can befriend even the most toxic of emotions and in so doing diffuse them. “When we know how our brains work, we can feel like we're in the driver's seat of our life,” she says, “instead of locked in the trunk of the car, driving 95 miles down the highway.”  You'll love hearing how this multi-modality therapist and thinker came to her work, why ultimatums are less effective than healthy boundaries, and what modest actions you can take to interrupt when your body has taken over the driver's seat.

Britt Frank is a trauma therapist and the author of The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward. Today's conversation centers largely on the topic of emotional regression: that all-too-common anxiety-inducing feeling that you are younger than your chronological age. Britt says that this is an issue that needs to be talked about more, because it can affect anybody regardless of their mental health status—even the most successful men and women in society. Some signs of emotional regression? Indecisiveness, fear of making people angry, can't say “no”, emotional explosions, wanting to be the “favorite” child/employee/friend, imposter syndrome, and many more. Believing that “surviving childhood is trauma in and of itself,” Britt asserts that, “if you don't grieve the fact that your childhood is over, you end up repeating it.” At the same time, Britt notes that humans are a “sliding scale”, constantly swinging from equilibrium to one extreme to another and back again. According to Britt, instead of trying to practice “self-regulation” all the time on one end, or being overly emotional and passionate on the other, we need to be willing to embrace a dynamic way of life. This way, we allow ourselves to consciously shift from one emotional state to each other, and from a state of high energy to a state of rest, acknowledging that how we feel is completely and utterly how our body wants us to feel in the moment. Britt reminds us that “our brain is on our side”—that anxiety is simply a sign telling us that something needs to be addressed. This means allowing ourselves to grieve, as opposed to suppressing that grief, is what will ultimately lead to our healing.   Follow Britt @brittfrank Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Key Highlights Britt breaks down the phenomenon of “emotional regression”: those excruciating moments—usually taking place around one's parents—where one feels younger than their actual age, and why many of even the most successful individuals go through it. Like the titular character in Alice in Wonderland, emotional regression makes us feel too big one moment and too small the next: your “yes” was really a “no”; you feel guilty when you fail and guilty when you succeed; you feel like an imposter half the time and a narcissistic monster the other half. Britt describes emotional regression as a psychological longing for “home”—by extension defining homeostasis as feeling at home in your body, mind, and heart. Britt unpacks grief as it relates to emotional regression and lays out the four steps to healthy grieving. She also explains why she sees anxiety as a superpower that can help us get unstuck on our road to healing. You don't need to wait until you've hit rock-bottom to change. Britt shares how you can start taking those baby steps to turn your life around today, and explains why feeling “fine” is far from fine.

There are times in our lives where we feel stuck, be it personally or professionally. It might be in our career. It might in a relationship. We're smart, so we try to think our way out of it. But when we're really stuck, thinking can turn into ruminating. And the more we think, the more we stay stuck. That's when the labeling kicks in.

On episode 58 of Outside The Studio: The Science Behind Getting Stuck and How To Get Unstuck with Britt Frank If you call yourself lazy or undisciplined every time you get stuck, you're not alone. The good news is that getting stuck is not usually a mindset issue or character defect. There is a science behind why we get stuck and that's what Britt Frank and Tessa discuss throughout this episode. They chat about why asking why you're stuck keeps you stuck, the life you will unlock if you are willing to deal with the uncomfortable, and habits you can build to regularly get unstuck. Britt Frank MSW, LSCSW, SEP, is a Licensed Psychotherapist and Trauma Specialist. She is the author of the book The Science of Stuck. Timestamps (00:30) Who is Britt Frank? (02:02) Is being stuck a form of laziness? (04:01) Why do we get stuck? (11:58) Recovering from drug addiction. ( 17:49) Freeing yourself from 'why' questions (why am I doing what I'm doing?) (23:35) How do you know how traumatized you are? (Finding perspective vs. making comparisons) (28:00) Taking control of your choices to create the life you want (29:58) Daily habits and rituals to get unstuck. (34:11) Mental health is a commitment to reality, at all costs (and other helpful reminders) (37:51) The science of stuck (39:47) How to connect with Britt Frank 5 Key Takeaways 1. When we get stuck, the first thing we tend to do is blame ourselves. However, there is a science behind why we get stuck. Being stuck is not a character defect. Understanding the science behind stuck can destigmatize it. 2. We often get stuck because we lack enough information about our brains work. We're not trained to deal with the thoughts that society deems as shameful. Give yourself permission to heal 3. All change, even good change is threatening to our brain 4. When you get stuck, don't let 'why' questions be your first questions. 'Why' questions will keep you stuck. Instead of asking why - ask what you're willing to do about your situation 5. We have to be honest with ourselves about the benefits of our choices, even choices that seem like they have no benefits (eg: drug abuse). Name things as they are so you can change them Links The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward by Britt Frank: https://www.amazon.com/Science-Stuck-Breaking-Through-Inertia-ebook/dp/B097B3BHL6 Connect With Britt Frank, MSW, LSCSW, SEP: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brittfrank/?hl=en Science of Stuck: https://www.scienceofstuck.com/ Connect With Tessa Tovar: Website: https://tessatovar.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tessamarietovar/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessa-tovar-baa27613 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/TBenedicktus

“We need to know how to drive our brains, and then life works,” says Britt Frank, clinician and trauma specialist, who believes that we must learn how our bodies respond to different stimuli and form emotions. Britt is less concerned with the “why” of things, and more about the “what” and the “how.” She's not interested in seeking or answering spiritual questions. If we learn how our bodies react to emotions, we can make better choices about our behavior, and life gets easier. Feelings, she says, are body cues, and emotions are the story or meaning we attach to those cues. The goal, she says, is to stop being a reactor and start being a responder. Britt and Deevo share their similar shock and disillusionment about what college turned out to be and the different ways that people, especially introverts, connect with people. Britt says as important as connection is, it can't come at the cost of health, safety, and integrity. They discuss the merits and limitations of psych meds, and the spiritual contradictions of abortion protesters. Hear Britt and Deevo discuss the importance of celebrating micro-wins, the importance of taking accountability and responsibility, and a basic set of actionable steps. Quotes • “Feelings are just body cues. Emotions are when we attach a story or meaning to those body cues.” (15:04-15:10 | Britt) • “Live your best life is sort of, ‘meh.' It's not live your best life, it's live a life where you get to make choices versus hanging around reacting to things all the time and not knowing why.” (17:37-17:48 | Britt) • “There's a degree to which life gets really crappy the more you know and then there's a pivot point at which eventually—assuming you have choices, and relative safety and access—you're no longer lled by your injury.” (21:22-21:36 | Britt) • “No matter how freethinking, no matter how outside the box, no matter how critical or unique you are, at the core of who we are as humans we still need to belong, we still need to have those connections, those conversations, some meaning, some depth. And that only comes from other humans.” (42:33-42:53 | Deevo) • “What are some key adjustments one can make for transformations. What do you mean by that?” (52:32-52:36 | Britt) • “I think personal responsibility is probably one of the keystone human emotions or human elements that if you don't have it, you're going to be lost for a long time.” (55:03-55:12 | Deevo) Links Connect with Britt Frank: Website | https://www.scienceofstuck.com/ Instagram | @brittfrank Connect with A Little Impolite: Deevo Instagram | @fusionphotog Lisa Instagram | @lisastaffphoto Business Instagram | @sproutconnectors Here it is!

Who you hang out with can affect your health. This episode begins with some interesting research from Gallup about the impact your friends can have on you - both positive and negative. Source: Tom Rath author of Well Being (https://amzn.to/3EekZb7) We all feel stuck at some point in life. Maybe you are stuck in a job or a relationship - or you just feel stuck in general. So how do you get unstuck? Well, there are some good ways and some bad ways. Here to explain what works and what doesn't and how anyone can get unstuck from just about anything is therapist Britt Frank, author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward (https://amzn.to/3Efv33v). Certain alternative therapies have been labeled “woo-woo.” Generally, that has come to mean they are things that are a bit mystical and no one really knows if they work for sure. This includes things like visualization, massage, aroma therapy, nature, kindness and so on. While the promises made regarding what these things can do may sometimes be overstated, there does seem to be something beneficial. Joining me to discuss that is Dr David Hamilton, a writer and speaker and author of several books including Why Woo Woo Works (https://amzn.to/3JLtBXI). People who eat fast, tend to eat more. And that can be a bad thing. Listen as I explain one simple technique to help fast eaters slow down, eat less and maybe weigh a little less as a result. https://arstechnica.com/science/2010/12/imagine-eating-an-mm-taking/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
