    Book Review: What Happened to You?

    November 16, 2021 /

    In this month's book review, a co-authored work by Oprah Winfrey and psychiatrist, Dr. Bruce Perry, takes center stage. As a society, we have only begun to scratch the surface of how trauma impacts individuals, families, and communities. This book provides a great introduction to the spectrum of trauma and asks us to shift our questions about difficult people from "what is wrong with you?" to "what happened to you?"
