What happened to you? : conversations on trauma, resilience, and healing

Perry, Bruce Duncan 1955- (interviewee.). Winfrey, Oprah (interviewer.).

Summary: "Have you ever wondered 'Why did I do that?' or 'Why can't I just control my behavior?' Others may judge our reactions and think, 'What's wrong with that person?' When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves, holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking 'What's wrong with you?' to 'What happened to you?' Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and [this book] provides poweful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand."--Publisher marketing.
