Exploring Trauma, Resilience, and Healing with 'What Happened to You?'

This book-of-the-month-ish episode, hosted by Tatiana Robertson, features a deep-dive review of the book 'What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing' by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey. Joined by guest Nimisha Mehta, they explore the book's examination of how childhood experiences and trauma shape our brains, behaviours, and personalities, impacting our health and wellness. The discussion highlights the book's message that understanding the science of trauma can lead to healing and growth. With personal anecdotes and reflections, Tatiana and Nimisha discuss the importance of community, meaningful relationships, and self-compassion in the recovery process. They underscore the book's call for empathy and understanding towards others' behaviours by asking 'What happened to you?' instead of judging. The episode emphasizes that trauma can lead to post-traumatic wisdom, empowering individuals with resilience and a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

A message from Nimisha:

At the core of my work lies the profound connection between self-reflection and personal branding. Through mirror work, I guide women to explore and embrace their authentic selves. It's not just about clothes and appearance; it's about aligning inner confidence with outward expression. This process helps them uncover a style that authentically represents their identity, fostering a powerful personal brand that resonates with who they truly are.
