What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Bruce D. Perry, Oprah Winfrey

5.0

This book… just wow. The ending had me so emotional with Oprah singing and talking to her mom, a person that caused her trauma. So powerful. Honestly, I can’t recommend this book enough. It was recommended to me by my bestie and it came at the right time. I learned so much and had so many “ah-ha” moments about trauma and how to move forward.

“You simply bring here, alive, is enough.”

“The pain was necessary in order to know the truth. But we don’t need to keep the pain alive in order to keep the truth.”

“What happened to you can be your power.”

Edit: if you read this book, listen to the audiobook…. It was soooo good. And felt like they were speaking to me at some points.
