In this powerful conversation, I speak with psychiatrist and trauma specialist Dr. Frank Anderson about the truth behind trauma—and how to heal it.
We explore why trauma is often misunderstood, how it affects behaviour, and how healing can start with awareness and connection. Frank shares his own deeply personal story, how he broke lifelong patterns, and why love and self-leadership are key to reclaiming your life.
Key Topics Covered:
- What trauma really is (and why most of us have it)
- The behaviours that signal unresolved trauma
- How early experiences shape adult relationships
- A simple framework for starting the healing process
- What Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is and how it works
Big News:
Frank’s book To Be Loved is being made into a major motion picture, bringing trauma healing to a wider audience.
If this conversation moved you, share it with someone you love—healing often starts with a single conversation.
