The Reading Nook—What happened to you? By Bruce D. Perry and Oprah Winfrey

Join our book club as we discuss What Happened To You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Oprah Winfrey, Bruce D. Perry.

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?”
