Dr. Frank Anderson is a world-renowned trauma expert, psychiatrist, and author, whose highly anticipated memoir, To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma, and Transformation launches on May 7, 2024 (Bridge City Books). It’s a rare inside look at how a leader in the field endured his own heartbreaking yet powerful personal experience with trauma to then transform his life and heal from his tumultuous past.  

In To Be Loved, Dr. Anderson takes us through his own journey of growing up gay in a traditional Italian American home that was fiercely loving and culturally close-knit while at the same time unaccepting, abusive and riddled with secret shame and dark family secrets. At just the tender age of six, he was made to feel that something was “wrong” with him, as he forcibly endured the horrific reality of “conversion therapy” for six long years and was forced to be somebody he wasn’t for decades.
