Through wide-ranging and often deeply personal conversation  Oprah Winfrey and Dr Perry explore how what happens to us in early childhood  both good and bad - influences the people we become. They challenge us to shift from focusing on Whats wrong with you? or Why are you behaving that way? to asking What happened to you?. This simple change in perspective can open up a new and hopeful understanding for millions about why we do the things we do  why we are the way we are  providing a road map for repairing relationships  overcoming what seems insurmountable  and ultimately living better and more fulfilling lives.  Many of us experience adversity and trauma during childhood that has lasting impact on our physical and emotional health. And as were beginning to understand  we are more sensitive to developmental trauma as children than we are as adults. What happened to us in childhood is a powerful predictor of our risk for physical and mental health problems down the road  and offers scientific insights into the patterns of behaviours so many struggle to understand.  A survivor of multiple childhood challenges herself  Oprah Winfrey shares portions of her own harrowing experiences because she understands the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma at a young age. Throughout her career  Oprah has teamed up with Dr Bruce Perry  one of the worlds leading experts on childhood trauma. He has treated thousands of children  youth  and adults and has been called on for decades to support individuals and communities following high-profile traumatic events. Now  Oprah joins forces with Dr Perry to marry the power of storytelling with the science and clinical experience to better understand and overcome the effects of trauma.  In conversation throughout the book  the two focus on understanding people  behaviour  and ourselves in the context of personal experiences. They remove blame and self-shaming  and open up a space for healing and understanding. Its a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma  and its one that allows us to understand our pasts in order to clear a path to our future - opening the door to resilience and healing in a proven  powerful way.  Grounded in the latest brain science and brought to life through compelling narratives  this book shines a light on a much-needed path to recovery  showing us our incredible capacity to transform after adversity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44956248637493,"sku":"ByrdShop_1529068460","price":70.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781529068467.jpg?v=1770318029","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/what-happened-to-you-conversations-on-trauma-resilience-and-healing","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
