Show Notes

The Book Interrupted women continue their conversation on “What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing” by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce D. Perry, exploring topics of triggers, choice, deep breathing, filling your bucket, and the impact the first few years of a child’s life have on their adulthood.

Taking a breath between reacting and responding
Deep breathing to take you out of fight or flight
Children lashing out to find their autonomy
Is there such a thing as too much choice?
The structure of the book - diagrams, aesthetics, style
Losing your bookmark
Filling your bucket and how that is affected by your childhood
Teaching by example
The impact in the first few years of a child’s life, versus when older
