“In this lively, well-written book, Britt Frank adds her compelling voice to this movement toward listening to rather than avoiding or fighting with what is making you stuck." —Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, creator of Internal Family Systems and author of No Bad Parts

"You might just replace that stack of self-help books on your bedside table with this one essential guide.” —Arielle Schwartz, PhD, author of The Complex PTSD Workbook and The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook


A research-based tool kit for moving past what’s holding you back—in life, in love, and in work.


We all experience stuckness in our lives. We feel stuck in our relationships, career paths, body struggles, addiction issues, and more. Many of us know what we need to do to move forward—but find ourselves unable to take the leap to make it happen. And then we blame and shame ourselves, and stay in a loop of self-doubt that goes nowhere.

The good news is you’re not lazy, crazy, or unmotivated. In this empowering and action-oriented guide, you’ll discover why we can’t think our way forward—and how to break through what’s holding us back. Using an eclectic approach and a customizable plan that’s as direct or as deep as you want, this life-changing guide empowers you to:

• break old habits and patterns

• gain perspective on pain and trauma from the past

• free yourself from the torturous “why” questions

• take control of your choices to create the life you want

Bringing together research-backed solutions that range from shadow work to reparenting, embodied healing, and other clinical practices, along with empowering personal stories, this book is a hands-on road map for moving forward with purpose, confidence, and the freedom to become who you’re truly meant to be.

Help is on the way.

Well written. Condenses content we often feel will take years to unpack. Offering simple, meaningful application activities for a more meaningful, healthier journey ahead.

Substantial info presented in a digestible way

Doing the work involves having compassion for ourselves and understanding how anxiety can be a sign of unmet needs. I made notes on my phone of particularly poignant parts that were “aha moments” and actionable suggestions. Great info in digestible pieces is the way I would describe it. Even my therapist wanted a copy (as she had not read it yet) when I brought up ideas presented in this book during my weekly therapy sessions. For someone who has been recently diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and taking medication, I appreciate this book so much.

Just so excellent

The author gets at stuckness from all the angles and there’s so much learning and empowerment here. Bravo.
