I am so excited to welcome Dr. Frank Anderson, renowned trauma expert, to the show to talk about his newest book, To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma, and Transformation.

It's both a memoir and a beautiful exploration of healing trauma. I absolutely loved what Frank had to share about the different types of trauma, the healing process, forgiving the perpetrator, forgiving ourselves, and reclaiming our own narratives.

If you've experienced childhood trauma of any type, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

*Gentle TW: there is a mention of suicide at 20:20. If this is a tender topic for you, please skip forward 10 seconds.

General TW: there is indepth discussion of trauma in this episode as it is Dr. Frank's area of expertise. Please consider that before watching as it may bring up feelings around your own traumatic experiences.*
