This book was very powerful. It gets painful at some points tbh, and it's really hard to face the cruelty of the world, and how much trauma kids can be exposed to. Oprah's closing words had me in tears but have inspired me to look at forgiveness from a very different perspective. A great book to read for people who've had any kind of trauma in their past, for parents (especially of younger children), and for people who work with children and teenagers. The move from "what's wrong with you?" to "what happened to you?" is something I'm definitely going to work on for a while.

This should be a REQUIRED read for everyone.. it is so important to understand how our mind and body develop after experiencing any sort of trauma. Wow. Let’s shift the conversation from “What is wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”. Great book with lots of helpful information (that is referenced and easy to grasp all throughout the book), and stories that show examples of the intricacy of trauma in the life of an individual. Wonderfully written.

Excellent read - very helpful for trying to learn how to take a trauma informed approach in life and work. Loved the style of a conversation and the many examples and stories used to illustrate the data and findings.
