Your Brain Is On Your Side with Licensed Neuropsychotherapist and Author Britt Frank

Send us Fan MailLicensed neuropsychotherapist and author Britt Frank joins us to turn traditional therapy concepts on their heads. Contrary to the notion that our brains are inherently flawed, Britt argues for viewing the brain as an ally in our survival journey. Her personal experiences with trauma and addiction fuel her drive to challenge outdated therapeutic models, shifting the focus from dysfunction to empowerment. Through her insights, she invites us to reimagine mental health as an ever-evolving journey rather than a destination marked by being "healed."We navigate through often tangled therapeutic dialogues, questioning the entrenched reliance on therapists and medication as signs of dysfunction. Instead, we explore the power of personal agency and therapeutic independence. The episode tackles the fear of inner work, underlining how facing our internal narrative can reveal an innate goodness, even if past choices suggest otherwise. Britt shares her innovative approaches, including workbooks inspired by her book "The Science of Stuck," encouraging listeners to actively participate in their mental health journey.Finally, we address the evolution of therapy practices, emphasizing the necessity for the field to keep up with advancements in brain science. Britt's upcoming book, "Align Your Mind," promises to delve further into harmonizing our internal dialogues.
