Description

In this powerful episode of Smart Sex, Smart Love, Dr. Joe Kort sits down with world-renowned trauma expert, psychiatrist, and author Dr. Frank Anderson. Together, they explore the many forms of trauma—relational, cultural, global, and more—and how our responses, not just our experiences, shape our healing journeys. Dr. Anderson opens up about his personal transformation, the writing of his memoir To Be Loved, and the deep belief that love and connection can heal trauma. 

You’ll hear insights on: 

  • Why trauma affects everyone differently
  • The role of love, connection, and environment in trauma recovery
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and why it works
  • How confronting your perpetrator—at the right time—can be transformational
  • Why healing isn't linear, but it is possible


Dr. Anderson's personal journey, professional insight, and heartfelt message remind us that no one is broken—and that healing is not only possible, but a path to living a more authentic, purpose-driven life.
