That’s what Britt Frank suggests. Britt is a featured mental health expert on podcasts, blogs, and television. In this podcast, she shares about:

“It’s days later and I’m still thinking about this interview. This interview is really going to challenge you. We challenge a lot of mainstream ways of looking at and describing mental health. So consume this with curiosity and if it sits uncomfortably with you, that’s okay. I’m not making a black & white stand here. Just exploring. Anyways, I f***ing ADORE Britt. I was already a huge fan girl because of her Instagram and getting the chance to interview her for 90 minutes was such a pleasure.

Yet another insanely smart, insightful, brilliant woman who was put on this planet to help others, or in Britt’s case, to help others’ heal and move forward in their lives from whatever is holding them back.

Britt Frank is a therapist, teacher, speaker, and trauma specialist who is committed to dismantling the mental health myths that keep us feeling STUCK and SICK.

Her work focuses on empowering people to understand the inner mechanisms of their brains and bodies and how they connect. When we know how things work, the capacity for CHOICE is restored and life can and does change.

Plain and simple: Britt is the therapist we all wish we had.

Everyone has trauma. It does not mean you're crazy, and it does not mean you're broken, according to trauma specialist, teacher, speaker, and therapist Britt Frank.

In this episode, Britt Frank, MSW, LSCSW, SEP demystifies the word “trauma” and explains why it is important to understand the basics of how our brains and bodies work together to create our moods.

with Andrea Owen

“Britt Frank is back! I received so much positive feedback from her first appearance on the show about healing from narcissistic and traumatic relationships, I knew we needed to continue the conversation. For those new to Britt, she is a trauma therapist, teacher, and speaker who specializes in the “Science of Stuck.” Britt's work empowers people to understand the inner mechanisms of their brains and bodies.

I still had so many questions for Britt, so in this episode, we dive deeper into our conversation about narcissistic relationships, what trauma is and is not, and how to break free from narcissistic abuse or trauma.”

The point of an apology is to recognize hurt feelings, express regret about the mistake or misunderstanding, and provide a plan for avoiding a repeat. Yet the phrase "I'm sorry" conveys none of that…

Rather than offering apologies, making amends is the fastest path out of stuck in a relationship.

People love to set goals, and setting objectives can lead to meaningful change. But let's face it: We aren’t necessarily great at sticking to those goals -- especially New Year’s resolutions.

Britt Frank is quoted as a guest expert in this NBC Better Online article on identifying a narcissist :

Narcissists are master manipulators

“Narcissists are notoriously difficult to deal with because they are masters of manipulation,” says Britt Frank, a licensed master social worker. “They are skilled at finding pressure points and know exactly what to say or do to push our most vulnerable and wounded inner parts."

Britt Frank is quoted as a guest expert in this Deseret News article on helicopter parenting:

“Well-meaning parents who do for their children what the children can do for themselves creates significant damage,” said neuropsychotherapist Britt Frank of Mission, Kansas.

Britt Frank is quoted in this Psychology Today article on the complexities of Mother’s Day:

“My friend (who happens to be a psychotherapist), Britt Frank, MSW, LSCSW, SEP, wrote recently about “the Mother Wound” and how difficult Mother’s Day is for us.

She writes, “Mother’s Day can be a REALLY triggering, guilt-ridden, fearful and confusing day for many people… For some, Mother’s Day is a wonderful day filled with family and good memories. For many others, it is a terribly sad, aching, confusing, lonely, and painful day. You are not alone and you are not crazy.”

SWY: What is the difference between trauma and grief?

BF: Trauma is an injury to the brain. Trauma is when our internal alarm system gets stuck on “on” and our bodies constantly react as if they were about to be attacked by a tiger. Trauma can heal, but that requires access to resources and a safe environment, which unfortunately is not experienced by everyone due to systemic oppression and environmental factors. Grief is an experience. It is an imprint on our hearts, minds, and bodies after a loss. Grief isn’t something to “get over,” but rather something that becomes part of our life story. Grief is like the weather – sometimes the days are beautiful, sometimes they are brutal. You don’t “get over” grief any more than you can “get over” weather.

It’s difficult to “think” your way out of emotional dysregulation, says Britt Frank, a licensed psychotherapist in Kansas City, Missouri, and author of the upcoming book “The Science of Stuck.”
