The Science of Stuck - Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward with Britt Frank

“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)
