Manage episode 468401187 series 3475501
Riley Rees sits down with Britt Frank, a licensed neuropsychotherapist and author of the book The Science of Stuck. Britt shares her insights into why so many of us struggle with procrastination, avoidance, and self-sabotage—and how to break free from these patterns using science-backed strategies.
Britt’s work focuses on understanding how the brain responds to stress, fear, and uncertainty. She explains that feeling stuck isn’t about laziness or a lack of motivation—it’s often a freeze response in the nervous system. By recognizing these patterns and applying simple, actionable tools, anyone can begin to move forward, one small step at a time.
In This Episode, we chat about:
- Why procrastination isn’t a motivation problem but a brain-based response to stress
- How the freeze response keeps us stuck and how to break the cycle
- The role of Micro Yeses in creating momentum and overcoming inaction
- Why self-sabotage happens and how to reframe it as a survival mechanism
