Move Through Trauma, Easily Make Tough Decisions, & Hack Your Vagus Nerve For Instant Calm with Britt Frank

I’m excited to welcome Britt Frank to the podcast. Britt is a licensed psychotherapist, teacher, speaker, and trauma specialist who is committed to dismantling the mental health myths that keep us feeling stuck and sick.

• reasons why procrastination can be a sign of unresolved trauma
• why you don’t need to deep dive into your childhood to resolve trauma
• the seven steps to move through trauma or feeling stuck in life
• a genius practice for figuring out what self-care will actually nourish you
• how to give yourself space to heal when the world is making demands of you
• steps for letting go of scary things that are out of your control
• a trick to figure out the exact first step to take, regardless of what area you’re stuck in
• how to move past the idea that you’ve wasted time being stuck
• the exact questions to ask to figure out if you should stay or go in a job, relationship, or city
• how to hack your vagus nerve to impact your mental health
• ways to take advantage of your neuropsychology to trick your brain into working out, finishing that work project, or doing other hard things
