What Happened to You?
A conversation between Oprah and neuroscientist Bruce Perry that reframes trauma by asking not what is wrong with you, but what happened to you.
Structured as a dialogue between Oprah and neuroscientist Bruce Perry, this book reframes how we understand difficult behavior. Its central move is to replace the question of what is wrong with you with what happened to you, tracing how early adversity shapes the developing brain. Oprah brings stories from her own childhood and interviews, while Perry supplies the science, together making a case for seeing trauma with more understanding and less blame.
