How to overcome stagnation and take off

Author Name: Brett Frank

This book is a how-to guide containing evidence-based practices and testimonials, academic research, professional stories, and personal experiences. I see the world through the eyes of a white, cisgender woman who has had the privilege of living within Western culture. The reasons you get stuck are as varied as the people in the world, and the information in this book pertains to those with freedom of choice, relative safety, and easy access to resources. However, this information does not apply to situations of abuse, oppression, enslavement, severe and persistent mental illness, power disparities, or systemic racism. Any practices that encourage you to dwell on your self-talk or “change your mind to change your mood” can be toxic and victim-blaming. As a general rule, “thought work” only works if you are in a safe environment where alternatives are available...Unless You’re Stuck includes information about mental illness, abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual trauma, grief, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other topics that some readers may find triggering.
