Description

Have you ever felt utterly stuck in your life, unable to move forward no matter how hard you tried? Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP certainly has. From battling meth addiction, eating disorders, and OCD, to transforming into a licensed neuropsychotherapist and author, Britt's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and authenticity. This episode unravels her story and introduces the concept of "micro yeses”.

 

Navigating the path from 'stuck' to 'unstuck' isn't about grand gestures; it's about those tiny, seemingly insignificant steps—micro yeses—that collectively lead to significant transformation." - Britt Frank

 

We reframe trauma as "brain indigestion," exploring how even a seemingly perfect upbringing can leave hidden scars that manifest later in life. This understanding helps demystify trauma, stripping away the stigma and making way for more effective healing. We also delve into the allure of belonging and its role in addiction, scrutinizing societal pressures and the emotional highs of community acceptance. These nuanced discussions critique conventional mental health approaches and underscore the importance of recognizing our brain's natural responses to trauma.

 

"Trauma is anything that overwhelms your brain's processing ability. It's like brain indigestion. By redefining trauma this way, we can demystify and destigmatize it, making way for more effective coping and healing strategies." - Britt Frank

 

Navigating the path from "stuck" to "unstuck" isn't about grand gestures; it's about those tiny, seemingly insignificant steps—micro yeses—that collectively lead to significant transformation. We discuss the monkey mind's primal urges vs. the thoughtful prefrontal cortex, uncover the hidden benefits of secondary gains, and venture into the realm of shadow work. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Britt emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, conscious decision-making, and the power of small, mindful choices in creating lasting change. Tune in for practical insights and inspirational stories that promise to help you navigate life’s challenges with newfound resilience.
