In this episode of "Behind the Armor", host Judd Shaw talks with licensed neuro psychotherapist Britt Frank about her journeys' in overcoming addictions and mental health challenges. Together, their conversation tackles understanding human behavior and the importances in micro-steps when overcoming adversity.

Key Lessons from the Episode:

1. Ditch the Why: When facing a significant challenge, especially addiction, avoid starting with "why." Focus instead on what small steps you can take immediately to improve your situation.

2. Micro Yeses: Identify and take micro yeses, which are small, manageable actions that help you move forward. These tiny steps compound to create significant change over time.

3. Normalize the Imposter: Everyone experiences imposter syndrome. Instead of fighting it, acknowledge and understand it. Turn the inner critic into a coach that can guide you towards improvement.

4. Shifting Between States: Understand your brain's response mechanisms. Learn to shift smoothly between feeling overwhelmed (emergency brake) and being functional (gas pedal) without abrupt changes, which can lead to burnout.

5. Authenticity with Boundaries: Embrace authenticity and vulnerability, but maintain appropriate boundaries. Share personal struggles with those that are safe and can offer support, ensuring a balance between openness and self-protection.
