What Happened to You? by Bruce D Perry & Oprah Winfrey

  • Are you seeking a deeper understanding of how your past experiences have shaped you?
  • Do you wonder why you react the way you do in certain situations? 

"What Happened to You?" offers a transformative and insightful exploration into the complex effects of trauma and adversity on the human mind and behavior. Co-authored by renowned brain development and trauma expert Dr. Bruce D. Perry and media icon Oprah Winfrey, this book challenges the traditional question "What's wrong with you?" and replaces it with a more compassionate and understanding query: "What happened to you?"

Through a series of engaging conversations, Perry and Winfrey blend personal anecdotes with scientific research to unravel the ways in which childhood experiences can lead to various adult difficulties, such as fears, triggers, and irrational reactions.

If any of these resonate with you, "What Happened to You?" could be the transformative read you need to start rethinking your own story and the stories of those around you. Whether you're healing from your own trauma or helping others to heal, this book offers valuable perspectives that can change the way you see yourself and the world.
