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

informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

I read this book after being exposed to it by an educational psychology expert in a teachers’ conference. The partnership between Oprah and Dr. Bruce Perry lends a powerful social scientific framework to understanding and healing trauma with personal anecdotes woven throughout. I’m taking away that asking the question “What happened to you?” rather than “What is wrong with you?” is much more useful and relationally actionable.
