What happened to you? On trauma, psychological resilience, and healing. How to understand your past to clear a path for the future

What happened to you? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing is a helpful nonfiction book by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry about psychological trauma, finding yourself, and understanding your difficult experiences. Bad deeds and words often make us look for flaws in ourselves, while a physical blow from someone or a slap in the face with a cruel word leaves a wound that forever continues to bleed in our hearts. The effects of trauma take such deep root that they shape all our relationships, decisions, and behavior in life. 

Self-fulfillment and the dream that seems just within reach are held back by an abyss of sadness, tears, and past bad experiences that have conditioned us to act this way. We know that a psychology book won’t heal your trauma. Still, in What Happened to You?, Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry offer a new lens through which to view painful experiences. This approach can help you reconsider your entire life journey and turn pain into knowledge—the key to rebuilding yourself.
