Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand.
Have you ever wondered “Why did I do that?” or “Why can’t I just control my behavior?” Others may judge our reactions and think, “What’s wrong with that person?” 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?”
Join us for a deep dive discussion.

Explore the emotional life of children and teens through this story of 11-year old Riley. The story takes place inside her mind, where emotions—led by Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust—manage her memories and actions, teaching that sadness is necessary for emotional health.
Key themes include emotional regulation, conflict and growth, and the metaphorical mind. Along with Riley, her emotions themselves are main characters and their stories are told along side Riley’s. Joy struggles to accept Sadness, and as Riley matures, her emotions learn to work together to navigate life’s challenges.

When author Kristina Kuzmič started to see signs that her otherwise sunny, resilient teenage son was struggling, she was sure a few simple fixes could right the ship. But over the following months, the issues her family faced became more nuanced, complicated, and pervasive than she could’ve predicted.
Despite her best efforts, Kuzmič had internalized a set of obligations, ideas, and unrealistic standards from parenting culture and social media that left her unprepared to guide her child when he needed her most. Kuzmič’s new book debunks ten “parenting truths” that kept her in crisis, and delves into her insecurities and the mistakes she made to reveal invaluable lessons and transformative approaches that worked.
Kuzmič’s journey calls to parents who have felt the instinct to say “I can fix this” in situations where good intentions far exceed our abilities to enact change.
