Ask Not What's Wrong With You But Rather What Happened To You


As a UCLA graduate in the discipline of Psychology, I am am a firm believer in the importance of not just knowing but also in acknowledging and understanding what happened to you particularly in early life and how it has affected you. One of the things I admire most about Oprah Winfrey is her advocacy for victims of psychological trauma and how she uses her fame and platform to help people in pain. Together with renowned brain development and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry, Oprah has co-written a book about trauma and healing. The healing part is critical to personal fulfillment in your journey of life.
