That reframing that you both have so beautifully illuminated in this book is so subtle, but it's so powerful because it removes that judgment.

The best things said about it
Read Oprah Winfrey's and Bruce Perry's book What Happened to You?
I just read what happened to you with Oprah winfy and Bruce Perry and Bruce Perry both of them are Splendid.
Each chapter opens up with a brief vignette or essay by either Oprah or Dr. Perry and the rest of each chapter is literally just like a conversation transcript between the two.
One of the most important points, I think Dr. Perry makes in What Happened to You, is that neglect is as toxic as trauma.

Why people recommend it
What Happened to You? is a book on trauma, resilience, and healing co-authored by Oprah Winfrey and psychiatrist Dr. Bruce D. Perry. On The Diary Of A CEO, Dr. Gabor Maté recommended the book to listeners interested in learning about trauma, and Jay Shetty similarly recommended it to viewers on On Purpose. Dr. Sue Johnson also recommended the book on The Tim Ferriss Show during a discussion about childhood trauma. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans analyzed the book's structure—noting that each chapter opens with a personal vignette before transitioning into a conversation transcript between the co-authors—and used it as a source when examining Oprah Winfrey's background. Furthermore, Oprah Winfrey discussed the book on On Purpose, explaining how her conversations with Dr. Perry during its creation helped shift her perspective on trauma from requiring a massive catastrophic event to something more nuanced, while also helping her understand her own family history and fear. Finally, Mel Robbins and Dr. Gabor Maté briefly discussed Dr. Perry co-authoring the book with Oprah while talking about the brain as a historical organ.
