It's time we started asking a different question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough 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?” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. In conversation throughout the book, she and Dr. Perry focus on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves. It’s a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma, and it’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Where Hope Lives:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat we experience in childhood shapes us forever—and that is especially true for young victims of trauma. It’s a lesson Oprah learned as a child being raised by an abusive grandmother. She developed 'a keen sense of when trouble was brewing'—when she would be subjected to 'whuppings' at times so brutal, the welts left behind would bleed through her clothing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a result of this and other abuse she suffered, Oprah has had a lifelong interest in understanding and overcoming the profound effects of early trauma—and helping others do the same. \u003cb\u003eNow, she’s teamed up with neuroscientist and child trauma expert Bruce Perry, MD, PhD, on this essential book. Revealing, intimate, and educational, it’s a testament to the authors’ wish for readers to come to grips with, and let go of, the past—and to move forward into 'post-traumatic wisdom.'\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—Leigh Haber, \u003ci\u003eO Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781250223180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Flatiron Books: An Oprah Book","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40823055745230,"sku":"9781250223180","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_6902422e-78cb-4792-9c0e-c019fc323622.jpg?v=1644920194","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781250223180","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
