In this episode of Let's Talk Love, Robin is joined by world-renowned trauma expert Dr. Frank Anderson to explore society’s growing awareness of trauma and the path to healing. Dr. Anderson shares insights from his memoir, To Be Loved, reflecting on his personal journey and the power of storytelling in trauma recovery. Together, they discuss the complexities of therapy, real-life applications of therapeutic insights, and the dynamics of trauma bonding within families. Dr. Anderson helps us understand trauma responses, the four T’s of trauma healing, and the transformative nature of the healing process. Emphasizing forgiveness as a personal choice and the necessity of reclaiming one’s power, this conversation illuminates the journey of self-awareness, self-love, and the collective effort essential for healing.
