Description

My guest today is Dr. Frank Anderson, MD. Frank is a Harvard Medical School school trained psychiatrist, therapist, speaker, author, and trauma specialist. He has spent the past three decades studying neuroscience and trauma treatment, serving as a leader within the Internal Family Systems therapy model. His latest book is an incredible memoir called, To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma, and Transformation.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

- How truth and authenticity guided the writing of Frank’s memoir 
- How shame can be an indicator of our level of healing
- How working on ourselves enriches our ability to support others
- The need to unite and integrate the different models of therapy and healing
- The transition from being mentored to mentoring others
- Frank’s thoughts on the use of social media for teaching and healing 
- What it means to truly heal a wound
- The Three R’s: repeating, repressing, or repairing
