Dr. Frank Anderson - Truth, Trauma, And Transformation

Talking points: PTSD, trauma, intimacy, relationships

It's hard sometimes to know where to begin when it comes to traumatic experiences. Even harder when they're PTSD-level, or secretly impact your relationships/intimacy/work life. Which is exactly why I'm grateful folks like Dr. Frank, who live at the intersection of cutting-edge research, lived experience, and calm strength.

We dive right into WHY these things happen and how they're stored in the body and mind, offering practical advice throughout. Strongly recommend you listen to this one!

(00:00:00) - What can neurobiology teach us about PTSD?

(00:06:20) - What are the symptoms of PTSD, and why disassociation, derealization, and depersonalization happen

(00:16:31) - Where do you even begin getting a handle on PTSD?

(00:23:13) - How Dr. Frank works with men on shame, whether they’re the shamer or the shamed

(00:32:29) - How trauma impacts sex and intimacy

(00:45:44) - Where men should start exploring their sexual potency

(00:51:14) - The event that started it all for Dr. Frank
