Trauma activates an internal cascade of reactions that blocks love, connection, and creativity; and in turn, love has the power to transcend trauma, heal our pain, and reconnect us to our Self, our source, and to each other.
Join Frank at an upcoming eventHello Everyone,
We’ve all been through so much over the past few years. Managing a pandemic, dealing with racial, gender, and reproductive inequities, witnessing or even participating in a war, all while inflation continues to rise.
It’s been challenging to hold steady and maintain balance during these stressful times. I’ve felt controlled and regulated. I’ve been told what I can and can’t do more than ever before. As this Holiday season descends upon us, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all that needs to get done, all the presents that need to be purchased, and all the social obligations that should be attended.
What if you did it different this year? What if you were more mindful? What if you made some new choices? What if you broke from tradition? Why not order out instead of cooking this year. Book a vacation instead of visiting family. Buy yourself a present. Even a small change can have a big impact on our mental health and sense of well-being. I’m choosing to speak up more and be more honest about what I want and feel, even if it goes against someone else’s wishes and desires.
Join me in doing it different this year.
With love and change,
Frank

What allows us to stay calm, present, and move through all that is present in the world today? Why do some of us thrive in adversity while others slip into depression and substance use?

Hope and light are on the horizon to help clients overcome the challenges of healing and releasing the pain of relational trauma.
The highly acclaimed Transcending Trauma explores a unique, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to resolving complex and dissociative trauma. In this transformative book Frank Anderson, MD, masterfully details an IFS path to therapy that allows clients to access their inherent capacity for healing – called Self-energy – while also helping them welcome, as opposed to manage, the extreme emotions frequently associated with trauma.
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) provides a revolutionary treatment plan for PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Using a non-pathologizing, accelerated approach -- rooted in neuroscience -- IFS applies inner resources and self-compassion for healing emotional wounding at its core. This new manual offers straight-forward explanations and illustrates a wide variety of applications. Easy to read and highly practical.
