What drives the work

Curiosity

Three decades of studying neuroscience and trauma treatment, with the same questions still pulling Frank forward. The work has never stopped being interesting.

Compassion

Healing isn't about fixing what's broken. It's meeting what's hurting with the kind of presence that lets it shift.

A belief in healing

A steadfast conviction that trauma doesn't get the last word. The path forward can be made clearer, and real change is possible.
