@mightypursuit: **CLICK THE LINK IN OUR BIO FOR FULL EPISODE** Sometimes the deepest betrayal is not only the person who hurt you. It is the person who watched it happen.The person who loved you, but didn’t protect you. The person you ran to for safety, even when part of you knew they were not safe either. That is what makes relational trauma so difficult to untangle. It rarely comes in clean categories. The person who harmed you may have been terrifying. But the person who failed to protect you may have also been the one you desperately needed most. And when people reflect back in adulthood, it’s often that person who causes the most pain. That is why we sat down with Dr. Frank Anderson. He is one of the world’s leading trauma experts, trained at Harvard, and has spent more than thirty years helping people understand the wounds that come from the relationships they were supposed to be safest inside. But what makes Frank rare is that he does not speak about this from a distance. He lived it. And that is why this conversation goes places most conversations on trauma never do: into the loyalty, betrayal, confusion, anger, grief, and impossible complexity of loving someone who hurt you or failed to protect you.
