Description
Britt Frank is back on the show! Britt Frank, MSW, LSCSW, SEP is a trauma therapist, teacher, and speaker who specializes in the "Science of Stuck." She is one of my favorite therapists who offers another perspective on personal development. In this episode we discuss what Britt believes to be some of the inaccurate information the mental health and wellness world teaches us and how that information impacts our personal development journey. Britt’s goal is to educate, empower, and equip people to transform even their most persistent and long-standing patterns of thinking and doing. You’re going to love this conversation, I have no doubt. You’ll hear: The parts of us that people typically hate are the parts that are trying to protect us. (7:17) Why Britt says, “Depression is debilitating but it is NOT a chemical imbalance.” (11:38) Why addiction is NOT a disease. (15:35) We need to understand behavior function in order to get to behavior change. (19:29) If we could change our inner monologue to an inner dialogue we can calm the nervous system down. (23:19) Anxiety is as necessary to your health as the check-engine light is to your car. (29:49) If a medication or modality isn’t working for you, you’re not broken. Healing is complex. (39:27) Therapy is not about blaming your parents, it’s about becoming a parent to yourself. (43:21) Trauma is not always about the things that happened to you. It is also about the things that didn’t happen to you, but should have. (44:20) http://andreaowen.com/436
