Summary

What if your “crazy” behavior isn’t crazy at all—but a perfectly logical response to trauma, fear, and unmet needs? In this raw and powerful episode, I sit down with licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert Britt Frank to unpack the truth about what we often mislabel as sabotage, emotional instability, and being "too much." We dive into parts work, BPD misdiagnosis, and why your self-critic isn’t your enemy—it’s actually trying to protect you.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re your own worst enemy, this conversation is your invitation to pause and reframe. You’ll learn why we spiral, why your nervous system matters more than any diagnosis, and how to start building self-trust without bypassing the mess. Plus, we’re sharing tools from our brand-new Self Love Course—because healing doesn’t require perfection, just permission to start.

The Self Love Course is available for presale now! Get the lowest price we'll offer this course for, $100 off regular pricing, and the first 50 people to sign up get a free copy of Britt's new book 'Align Your Mind: Tame Your Inner Critic and Make Peace with Your Shadow Using the Power of Parts Work'

Oh, hey, Britt. Oh, hey, Sabrina. Oh, my God all, the science is stuck has been revolutionary for me. And for everybody that I've ever recommended it to, they're like, do this book is incredible.

0:23.8

The workbook is another amazing book. So I'm really stoked and obviously proud of you.

0:28.4

But I'm just, I'm here. Oh, I'm so excited. And the fun news for everybody that's watching, you love me and Britt, right? Well, we have a new course that just came out. And that's actually why we created today's episode about specific things that

0:42.8

if this resonates with you and you're like, hey, whoa, I really want to learn more. We got you.

0:47.2

We have a self-love course that just came out. It doesn't matter if you're single, if you're in a

0:50.1

relationship, if you're married, this is for you to come back home to yourself and really

0:54.8

learn what it actually means to love yourself. So I'm thinking stoked. So, Brett, for anybody who may

1:00.1

have not heard you on a past episode or anything like that, let's just start off. Could you

1:03.6

reintroduce yourself for our audience? Oh, yes. Hello. My name is Britt Frank. So I'm a licensed

1:08.2

psychotherapist. I'm a trauma specialist. And then I have all the, you know, my professional front facing stuff and total train wreck, hot mess of a human being behind the scenes. So I did not become a therapist to be a person of help to other people. It was I had to learn how to human or I was going to die. And that's not being dramatic. That is very literal. And in doing so, fell in love with the work. And then went to school in my 30s and said, I'm going to die and that's not being dramatic. That is very literal. And in doing so,

1:28.3

fell in love with the work and then went to school in my 30s and said, I'm going to be a therapist

1:31.7

now that I'm almost grown up. And here we are. What I love about that is the unconventional

1:35.5

story, right? Because like you're, I mean, even if you, whatever you're willing, you're open to

1:39.4

sharing, but like your past is colorful in the sense where like you were in a relationship that wasn't healthy.

1:45.0

You were in a really unhealthy dynamic, right? And I know that you were out of that and you met your

1:50.6

partner, right? Later, like you're in your later 30s. This wasn't like, oh my God, Brits been married

for 25 years to her amazing husband now. Like, oh no. My point of bringing that up was I wanted to share that you can become this

2:02.5

incredible human being despite what you go through. Like nobody's on a timeline. It doesn't mean that you

2:06.4

had to graduate from your psychology degree at 22 and become all of that. You can find your

2:12.4

passions a little bit later. You can find your amazing partner. You can find yourself a little bit later in life. And I'm just, I'm really excited to have you here so that we can talk about how you could do that a little bit more. It would have been nice to know what I know now at 22. And I'm glad that this information will help other people not have to wait until their late 30s to go,, no, life is a mess. Let's do something different.

2:35.5

But it is really nice to know that no matter where you are, the brain can change. It is not stuck.
