Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain development and trauma expert, Dr.
Bruce Perry, discuss the impact of trauma and adverse experiences and
how healing must begin with a shift to asking, 'what happened to you?'
rather than 'what’s wrong with you?'
Through wide-ranging, and often deeply personal conversation, Oprah
Winfrey and Dr. Perry explore how what happens to us in early childhood
– both good and bad - influences the people we become. They challenge
us to shift from focusing on, 'What’s wrong with you?' or “Why are you
behaving that way?,” to asking, 'What happened to you?' This simple
change in perspective can open up a new and hopeful understanding for
millions about why we do the things we do, why we are the way we are,
providing a road map for repairing relationships, overcoming what seems
insurmountable, and ultimately living better and more fulfilling lives.
Many of us experience adversity and trauma during childhood that has
lasting impact on our physical and emotional health. And as we’re
beginning to understand, we are more sensitive to developmental trauma
as children than we are as adults. ‘What happened to us’ in childhood
is a powerful predictor of our risk for physical and mental health
problems down the road, and offers scientific insights in to the
patterns of behaviors so many struggle to understand.
A survivor of multiple childhood challenges herself, Oprah Winfrey
shares portions of her own harrowing experiences because she
understands the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma at a young
age. Throughout her career, Oprah has teamed up with Dr. Bruce Perry,
one of the world’s leading experts on childhood trauma. He has treated
thousands of children, youth, and adults and has been called on for
decades to support individuals and communities following high-profile
traumatic events. Now, Oprah joins forces with Dr. Perry to marry the
power of storytelling with the science and clinical experience to
better understand and overcome the effects of trauma.
In conversation throughout the book, the two focus on understanding
people, behavior, and ourselves in the context of personal experiences.
They remove blame and self-shaming, and open up a space for healing and
understanding. It’s a subtle but profound shift in our approach to
trauma, and it’s one that allows us to understand our pasts in order to
clear a path to our future - opening the door to resilience and healing
in a proven, powerful way.
Grounded in the latest brain science and brought to life through
compelling narratives, this book shines a light on a much-needed path
to recovery – showing us our incredible capacity to transform after
adversity.
