Therapists have trauma too. If you don’t believe that, Dr. Frank Anderson has a story for you and it happens to be his own. A respected leader in the trauma therapy and Internal Family Systems space, Frank Anderson’s latest book is the memoir he never planned to write. But once the words and the music started to flow, “To Be Loved," painted a picture of a young boy’s pain that became his purpose. It’s a reminder that vulnerability and honesty pave the way for healing and compassion for those who hurt him and also freed him on so many levels. In this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, you have a front seat inside a deep conversation that serves as a reminder: healing and love are possible for all.⁣
