Hi everyone I'm Brinay Brown and this is unlocking S.

In this episode I'm talking to Oprah Winfrey and Dr Bruce Perry about a book that they just released

together called What Happened to You, Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing.

In this conversation we talk about the huge kind of seismic shifts that occur when you ask are you wonder, are you

question what happened to you? What have you experienced? What have you lived through?

What have you survived? What is your story over what's wrong with you or how could you?

We talk about how that simple kind of trauma-informed question of what is it that you've survived or lived through or gone through

can really help us transform not only our own lives but also start to transform the lives of other people

and give us a better, deeper, empathic connection with each other.

We also define trauma, what is trauma, big trauma, small trauma, and how trauma shapes our brain, how our stress response system is completely affected by what we've lived through.

And how trauma has real emotional, physical, and social consequences.

We also talk about the privileges of regulation, about

vulnerability and curiosity, what it means to create safety and security, which is something that is like as we're

learning more and more, not just a physical need, but a real neurobiological need for us.

So glad you're here for this conversation,

an incredible book, an amazing career

that Dr Perry has had in doing this work,

and Oprah, the great amplifier of not just answers but really

important questions. Thanks for being here.
