World Renowned Trauma Therapist Works Through His Own Trauma In Order To Learn How To Allow Himself To Be Loved

Hello beautiful souls! World renowned trauma therapist, Dr. Frank Anderson, worked alongside Bessel van der Kolk (author of The Body Keeps Score ) for years, only to find he hadn't worked through his own trauma and that he didn't know how to allow himself to be loved. Today, he talks about how he came home to himself. In To Be Loved , Dr. Frank Anderson shares his confusing experience of growing up an outsider in a typical, midwestern Italian American home that was - at one turn - fiercely loving but at the same time unaccepting, abusive, and rife with secrets. After enduring six years of therapy as a child in the 1970s, he was programmed to be something that he wasn't for decades and became driven to create the perfect life- complete with a family, a successful career and a house with white picket fence in the suburbs- until it all fell apart. It was only then that he realized resilience, forgiveness and facing his trauma were the keys to living an authentic life-and finally knowing what it feels like to be loved.
