Key takeaways:

  • Stuckness isn’t a character flaw—it’s a nervous system response designed to protect you.
  • Asking “Why am I like this?” often reinforces paralysis. Ask instead: “What small yes can I offer myself right now?”
  • Micro-yeses—tiny, manageable actions—help bypass overwhelm and gently re-engage the brain.
  • Your brain’s safety system (fight, flight, freeze) will override logic when it perceives a threat—even if that threat is emotional or invisible.
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) shows us that even our most sabotaging behaviours come from protective parts with good intentions.
  • Unprocessed grief is often hidden beneath stuckness—learning to grieve (not just loss, but change) is key to healing.
  • Letting go of your agenda (especially in relationships or therapy) can create space for authentic change.
  • Tools like body doubling and pattern disruption are simple, effective, and backed by neuroscience.
  • Assume your brain is on your side—even if it’s not doing what you want right now.
