How do our early experiences shape our ability to love, be loved and feel loved?
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Frank Anderson, a Harvard trained psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author of To Be Loved, a memoir of his upbringing and life, Transcending Trauma, and coauthor of the Internal Family Systems training manual. Together we will discuss the relational trauma of not feeling loved in our early life, our own self-love, receiving love, and giving love to others.
You’ll also hear more about:
How trauma blocks love
The different types of trauma we can experience as children
How attachment trauma is related to neglect, not just abuse
The importance of distinguishing between attachment and connection
Why it can feel unsafe to connect with others authentically
Two reasons why it will feel dangerous to feel good after early relational trauma
