Breaking Free from Mental Blocks

Mental Blocks Procrastination Britt Frank

In this episode of Sofia Unfiltered, Riley Rees chats with Britt Frank, a licensed neuropsychotherapist and author of the book The Science of Stuck. Britt shares her insights into why so many of us struggle with procrastination, avoidance, and self-sabotage—and how to break free from these patterns using science-backed strategies. Britt’s work focuses on understanding how the brain responds to stress, fear, and uncertainty. She explains that feeling stuck isn’t about laziness or a lack of motivation—it’s often a freeze response in the nervous system. By recognizing these patterns and applying simple, actionable tools, anyone can begin to move forward, one small step at a time.

About Britt Frank

Britt Frank is a neuropsychotherapist, speaker, and author dedicated to helping people understand and overcome mental roadblocks. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work and has extensive training in trauma, somatic therapies, and parts work. Her expertise lies in breaking down complex psychological concepts into simple, practical strategies that help people navigate change and regain control of their lives.

Britt believes that self-sabotage, procrastination, and avoidance are not personality flaws but symptoms of deeper emotional and neurological processes. Through her work, she empowers individuals to identify what’s holding them back and develop small, manageable habits that create lasting transformation.

Her book, The Science of Stuck, helps people overcome indecision and overwhelming stress. Her upcoming release, Align Your Minds, goes deeper into understanding our inner voices — like the critic, procrastinator, worrier, and saboteur. It offers a practical framework for retraining these voices to work together in harmony, so they stop holding us back.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • Why procrastination isn’t a motivation problem but a brain-based response to stress
  • How the freeze response keeps us stuck and how to break the cycle
  • The role of Micro Yeses in creating momentum and overcoming inaction
  • Why self-sabotage happens and how to reframe it as a survival mechanism
  • Practical strategies for rewiring your mindset and moving forward with confidence
