What Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey

“What Happened to You?” by Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Bruce D. Perry is a powerful exploration of how childhood trauma shapes the way we grow and interact with the world. Through conversations between Oprah and Dr. Perry, the book delves into the psychological impact of trauma and offers insights into understanding and healing. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?” the book encourages readers to shift the focus to “What happened to you?” to promote empathy, compassion, and self-awareness. It provides practical advice for coping and overcoming the lasting effects of trauma, with a blend of scientific research and personal experiences.
