About this episode
This week I’m joined by Frank Anderson, Harvard-trained psychiatrist, psychotherapist and one of the leading voices in trauma treatment, for a conversation that goes far beyond traditional therapy.
What we explore together:
• Why trauma treatment was never meant to be a single method, and what 11 years of psychoanalysis taught him about its limits
• The viral “does trauma live in the brain or the body” debate, and what his close friend Bessel van der Kolk actually meant by The Body Keeps the Score
• Why attraction is often about unhealed wounding, not love, and how it shaped his own first marriage
• What it actually looks like to heal trauma through the body, not just by talking about it
• Why he believes we’re entering “the era of the body,” and what that means for AI and disconnection
Love, Sarah Ann 💛
