Expert Psychiatrist's Guide To Transcend Trauma w/ Dr. Frank Anderson

I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ARE HURTING RIGHT NOW.   I SEE it in your messages.  I HEAR it when I talk to people.  And SOCIAL MEDIA and the NEWS are filled with stories every day of people struggling to stay afloat.    So often, we find ways to compromise as a means of living with our psychological pain and deep-seeded trauma.  Many of us have been doing it for years.   But collectively, I don’t think we’re doing enough HEALING.     Especially lately, as the pandemic has turned our entire world upside down.  We’ve done our best to cope amid loved ones getting sick or dying, losing our jobs and identity, battling isolation, and an all-consuming fear of the future.   This week’s guest, DR. FRANK ANDERSON is a psychiatrist who has extensively studied pain and trauma.  He has made it his lifelong quest to help others heal by integrating his knowledge of neuroscience and trauma treatment with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.   His new book, TRANSCENDING TRAUMA, explores a unique, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to resolving dissociative trauma.    ARE YOU READY TO HEAL?   Do you want to regain the ability to CONNECT WITH and LOVE OTHERS on a deeper level?   Are you ready to help others UNDERSTAND why they’re traumatized and what you can do to help them?   Aside from the obvious BENEFITS of why it’s important to heal, until you learn to do so and take active steps to heal from trauma, there’s no way you can be the BEST POSSIBLE spouse, parent, friend, co-worker, or achieve the HIGHEST DEGREE OF SUCCESS in your career or personal life.   TIME SPENT HEALING IS TIME WELL SPENT.    And as Dr. Anderson reveals to us, it’s a WORTHY INVESTMENT in ourselves.
