- For Sunday's "60 Minutes," Oprah Winfrey traveled to Milwaukee, where she grew up, to learn about a revolutionary approach in the city to childhood trauma. She spoke to Dr. Bruce Perry, the world's leading expert on early trauma who has treated survivors of high-profile events like the Columbine shooting. Winfrey joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss why the question should shift from "What's wrong with that child?" to "What happened to that child?"

It took so long for this is come to light. So many of us are damaged and forced to act normal.
I’m currently in therapy and not returning to work till I can get myself right. I’m tired of feeling broken and I don’t want to be angry all the time.
“It’s not an excuse; it’s an explanation.” Empowering quote from Oprah. She walks what she talks.
To see this and to see her birth the book “What Happened to You?” Is just brilliant. She really walks the walk!
Trauma informed care is not a new idea. It’s been around for decades. Glad it’s being championed by a main stream icon now because the rest of the world needs to know about it and understand it.
Finally - someone is talking about this. Great, now let's make some noise.
OPRAH is beyond brilliant she is a genius to shade light on this
I wish that she had included more about how even with great mental health help, it's not like you can erase all the effects. You can get help and have your symptoms improve, but that doesn't mean all those symptoms go away completely. As an adult survivor of childhood trauma, I acknowledge the effects it still has in my life even with lots of professional help. I wish there was more support and help because it is a handicap, but it's not recognized as one. Instead, it's seen as a direct reflection on my value as a person. If someone hears I suffer with mental health issues due to childhood trauma, they just get uncomfortable and look at me like a pariah. You wouldn't do that to someone who had a physical handicap. Not to mention how expensive getting help is
well said, Michelle
You are not the only one. Guess what you are normal.
EXACTLY!!
Yes, exactly. People need to heal themselves before bringing children into toxic.
Childhood developmental trauma impacts how our brains and bodies physically develop. In my late twenties I would up having such severe health issues i became legally handicapped, and doctors couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until I saw a specialist gastroenterologist who told me that I was living with debilitating ptsd that was impacting my digestion, nutritional absorption, hormones, sleep, and overall health. I didn't believe it at first bc I was high achieving - how could that be the diagnosis? After reading several books and the research on the topic as well as working with trauma specialists for a couple years, I now know that early childhood trauma takes many forms and can seriously impact how the body develops and functions later in life. Hearing Oprah talk about this gave me all the feels. In case sharing my story in this comment is helpful, there is now a lot of new research on this topic now. I recommend reading about the large ACE study on children with dev trauma, and personally find reading books on complex ptsd by people like Pete Walker or books like 'the body keeps score' Dr Bessel van der kolk helpful. ❤️
Also Peter Levine and Gabor Mate are excellent on the effects of childhood trauma
GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤
Thank you :)
This is the one of the reasons a therapist wants to listen your story first before giving you a proper cure.
If Oprah ran for president with this topic as her primary agenda, I'd vote for her. I can't agree enough with her that this should be our number one issue we address as a society.
She already is President...from a different angle..she doesn't need the label x
All well and good be a dancing Emoji in an in-house CBS News interview promoting an upcoming broadcast.
It’s a very different thing coming out publicly against a Republican President whom you have previously promoted on the OWN network, along with his family. As President, in his Tweeting, Trump has called out Oprah for being meek and too demure to embrace the call to run for President. And he has a point - in that the traumatic (and permanent, it now appears - as some of these dark-skinned asylum-seeking children have now been shunted off to De Vos family adoption agencies, per the latest reports) enforced separation of children from their mothers is not something Oprah has been willing to step up and oppose with the force and authority with which she can, and can still. I want to see her do that.
This country cries out for her to do JUST that!!!
I'm pretty sure the Republican Consultant industry agrees with you.
This is making me have chills. Making my purpose even clearer.
True, if done in conjunction with the reformation of dysfunctional systems. When the systems that cause extreme forms of marginalization, abuse, trauma, violence and disenfranchisement are changed, the efforts at philanthropy will be more effective/efficient
I don't know if we're way ahead in Sweden but this is definitely NOT something new. I'm shocked that NOW they will ask "what happened to you" instead of "what's wrong with you".
You are so very far ahead of the U.S. Your culture is much, much healthier.
I agree. From my experience here in the U.S., it’s been commonplace to jump to conclusions without asking what happened. Sad, but true.
People wouldn't even think to ask that here 😑
Brilliant comment!😊
Thomai Hatsios True that. I wish I lived in Sweden or a similar country.
Dr. Caroline leaf specializes in this exact topic. Pertaining to healing the soul from trauma on a scientific (cellular level) she also incorporates spiritual principals as well.
Just came across that video Ophra you are absolutely right,god bless
If anyone deserves to be the first female president of the United States, it would be Oprah!
I hate it how she continuously interrupts them
I hope Oprah reads the books and works of Alice Miller, who coined the term "witness" in a child's life can make the difference to a child of trauma. She fought for no spanking of our children worldwide. One book is called, For Your Own Good. Unfortunately the US still allows corporal punishments in our school systems! And we condone spanking in families. It truly is a violent act that has lasting effects. Thank you Oprah for all that you will do with this info. Trauma IS the beginning of dysfunction, changing our brains very early on. And it is generational as trauma parents then raise children with trauma. Education is the only way out of this cycle, along with much compassion.
People who beat their kids are neanderthals.
Oprah is a prolific reader!!! Haven't you ever heard of Oprah's Book Club!!! She is very well informed and READS everything!!!
It is so good to hear someone speak of the perils of spanking. I am temporarily living in North Carolina....it is so common to hear co-workers mention "whooping, beating" their children for the slightest infraction. I gently suggest appealing to a child's intellect --develop critical thinking skills. I marvel that they keep beating their children because they misbehave in school over and over again. Obviously, beating isn't working! I am kinda surprised that Oprah never connected the perils of abuse to a young developing brain..sometimes her late revelations puzzle me...
to add knowledge about how hard it realy is, what Alice Miller recommended, read her son's book about his mother. How he tried to puzzle her own hard life together and why she failed so bad to be a good mother herself. Not for judging, but for understanding even deeper
beating your kids and spanking your kids are two different things
Such a beautiful soul. So genuine so sincere.Full of Love
Everybody has to hear this!!!
Yes Yes Yes....therapist have been aware of this reality for many years....but not enough years. Sadly, especially working with children, there are so many factors that seem resistant or not possible to bring about effective change--as a therapist alone. It is multi-faceted. The younger a person is that experiences the chaos the more entrenched the trauma with result of so many problems as an adult. But if there is some kind of refuge...as you said, school....something, some person, that is an anchor...makes all the difference. Thank you Oprah. Now I need to find that 60 minutes episode. Yes, I'm an LCSW.
I'm kind of surprised Oprah did not know this, do to her spiritual understanding of the Soul etc. But ether way it is good that she understands now & can make major changes with her new understanding !!
I wish this was common knowledge when I was a child in the 90s & 00s. I'm still struggling to find the help I need and I'm 29 and I feel so disempowered by my unaddressed trauma. Therapists LITERALLY asked me what's wrong with you back in 2004/2005. Between that and my mom trying to have me exorcised I just learned to go numb and suppress everything and now I'm failing at life. More people would be sympathetic to a 14/15 yr old than a 29yr old who can barely take care of themselves...
As a therapist myself and having gone through therapy a couple of times, I am wondering, how can I find out if there are any therapists trained in this method in Albuquerque New Mesxco so I can go to one myself and refer others to them as well. An excellent approach as part of the cure and healing that has been missing for so long.
Love you Oprah.. Thank you for always teaching us about the important issues.
Thank God for Oprah and for all she does...I work in this area..DBT therapist..its about the relationship ...absolutely x
Oprah, I am a registered nurse, ending my career in mental health. I am a National Council Mental Health First Aid Instructor for Youth. Please don't stop advocating awareness for traumatized children. You will get people's attention because of your reputation, so proud you are once again, using your voice to bring awareness to this topic!
no judgement... just understanding
I so agree with this. Who we are as adults (not always, but many times) is a direct connection to how we were raised and experiences we had as children. For many years I had guilt that I didn't have trauma as a child because I couldn't/can't relate to people who are shy, anger issues, mood issues, etc., and that because I don't have those personality issues I am seen as vain or "uppity" We all have our story, they aren't all the same and that is okay.
Inconsistency is a great descriptive word
yes, we needed the resources to help the children... please change the school paradigm
Much credit goes to Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. “The Body Keeps the Score”
So love this Oprah ~ ♡ ♡ ♡
This is good!! So many children and adults will be able to heal. This excites my soul. ☺️
If anyone has went through trauma in life or understands it is myself and my children
What about the show she had with John Bradshaw abt two decades ago?
Oprah there's more. We are innate proprioceptive beings. The trauma guilds us away from our sensitivities into our thinking/rationalizing minds which LOOP. Then when we are not honored as children and instead ENTRAINED by parents, teachers, doctors,..etc. that THEY KNOW what is best "for us"...we become FURTHER in seperation from our OWN INNATE CHANNEL to our obedient mind and instead become dogmatically trained. Excited to see this special...LOVE all that you do.
bingo!
It is not an excuse but it is absolutely a chance to realize that you are NOT fundamentally flawed and should not be condemned for the ways your injuries have caused you to stumble in your life. You deserve COMPASSION!!!
It's not only limited to children. You can ask the same question of adults who have had traumatic events that changed their lives. This story relates to me in so many ways at age 43 and an event 2 years ago that changed my life...for the worse at first. I made some stupid decisions because of it, but have learned from them and continue to work through the pain, lonliness, rejection, and consequences.
tgsrule I hope you are doing better now and it was a stepping stone for you
Love this.. very informative
How is this NEW? This is the foundation of every transformation and healing process.
My Son will be going to a day treatment program in Denver which is a Bruce Perry flagship facility. I study trauma as well. This is our last journey. I am very hopeful. This will be teaching my Son about his brain and what trauma looks life.
Wayne Dryer talked about this decades ago.
Lots of people have talked about it, they just are not as famous or plugged into the media as well as Oprah it seems
So that means she shouldn’t? Shut up
If that's how you choose to interpret my comment then yes it means that - if you choose to read it with inquiry, not defence then it may mean something different.
Paul Clare not you
Dr. Wayne Dyer...peace!
deaf, I am deaf. Has anyone written down the conversation or a subtitled version? Anyone?
dontshakeme you should be able to change the settings and turn the subtitles on!
She’s found another to heal herself through helping abused children and learning about childhood trauma... Brilliant!
Why school or an after-school program should be a refuge for children a place they feel safe. Not a place of guns.
Someone tell them
Yes!!
I’ve always thought this way.
But, when I say to people “that murderer or pedophile I guarantee had the same done to them” and all the prisoners have had loads of abuse and abandonment, people role their eyes and get mad at me.
🤷🏿♀️
I think most people grew up with some trauma or another--human life is fairly chaotic and difficult. If there is anything I think that is problematic, it is the assumption that life ought to be perfect when it isn't, not for anyone. Even when you don't have trauma, people have holes within because of the existential nature of life.
I need help. I grew up in Milwaukee too.
there you go girl............theres your calling
This is so powerful!!! ❤❤❤
what if the trauma lasted until i was 47? that’s childhood and adult abuse! it got worse from my mom at age 25. until now. 50.
Noooooo..... THE RIGHT QUESTION IS, "WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU??????"
Thank you, Oprah!
This is great!
Being that Gayle is Oprah’s best friend, I think that she should have been a little less chatty and refrained from being the one to remind Oprah of her childhood traumas.
YES!
Oprah MUST connect up with Nadine Burke Harris doing amazing work implementing the results of ACE's to change lives
There is no time to "fix people".We have to meet people where they are.And help them move forward with some understanding of the trauma.NGO's are strugling with resources human and financial.
It can be a game changer if the person can connect the dots. It does not work when we do but they are still stuck in their dysfunction. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. Its toxic. An important concept for a willing self discovery process.
I don't understand how she, or anyone, at that stage in life and with all the resources at her fingertips, is just now figuring this out. It is quite literally annoying me.
Exactly what my wife and I just said. Dr. Perry must have been thinking, "holy crap, how many years have I been saying this????!!!!!"
kiva822 she has always known that.. She grew up poor. She wants to reach the next generation. TRUMP SUPPORTERS should be ashamed to support him
Yas!!
I just saw a report on children growing up in China, where there are multiple generations of separation and hardship. For example the great-great grandparents went through the civil war, great grand parents experienced the revolution, the grandparents had the one child plan that devalued girls and ripped families apart and the current rural generation aren't allowed to take their children with them into the cities creating poverty, separation anxiety and resentful grandparents and caretakers. The authorities stated how can there be a loving family life, well educated children and citizens who contribute to their communities when there is childhood trauma reaching back five generations! The trauma produced people who are mentally and emotionally stagnated and unable to deal with everyday living situations. These same traumatized people will become the future criminals, psychiatric patients and unemployed! People want to know what is wrong with many communities! Stop blaming unwed mothers and look at what is happening in these neighborhoods! Yes, it is good for children to grow up in nuclear families, but time and time again, successful children usually have one or two people who have invested heavily in them.
my god I love Oprah
Oprah é maravilhosa ❤️❤️❤️
What happened to you is a good question, but how do you fix what happened to you was never answered.
33 people are not ready to heal their childhood wounds.
The Bible says be renewed in the spirit of your mind about us first before you can deal with anything else thank you Oprah
Oprah, Gail....whomever can and will...please look into EMDR therapy for PTSD and Trauma. Very effective, has quickly risen to the top three recommended therapies for trauma.
It's a good thing Oprah found the wheel. This insight wasn't new, I'm glad she too got to that 'wheel'. Let's now hope she doesn't try to reinvent the wheel.
The culture of this society would have to change in that people see childhood trauma as something to keep silent about. Or that it shouldn't have any impact on one's ability to live life as an adult. There is no connection at all Or "SO WHAT! IT HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO. SUCK IT UP AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE". There's an apathy, indifference and invalidation of it through cultural messages received every day.
If someone ask me what happened to me as a child, I would have said nothing happened to me. Because I did not know there was any thing different. this how
💘 💘 💘 💘 💘 Oprah 🙏
She has PTSD, She used food to comfort her, she never had children, she never got married. That can be a form of PTSD. It is not a cookie cookie recipes for everybody. I got straights A's too but i still had PTSD???
All of this topic skip in my childhood school hahahahaha
I'm not sure why this is so revolutionary. It's what therapists have been asking for years.
for her it was new, psychologists have known that for years. now that a famous and powerful person like her talks about it and brings attention to it, more resources may show up
this is curing the disease not treating the symptom
Duh...heal up the samskaras. She’s right.
Oprah is a goddess
Enough of the president chatter stick to what the topic is about...I was a child of many abuses and this makes sense to me . I'm 43 years old now and wished I had this understanding of why I had this inconsistent behavior in my life..instead it's Oprah for president..gimme a break
There's no subject that Oprah isnt an expert on....
Great observation re:children who have experienced trauma. Oprah nor any other person without experience in govt should not run for or be President.
☆♡☆
I love her too but she will have to take back all the things she has said about Black American children! Now she is realizing why some black children act the way they do! But she chose to support African children over Black American youth in the inn-city!
Check out the non-profit group FREA (Finding Recovery and Empowerment from Abuse) - FREA.support
I could've told her that for half the price. lol. Of course it's what happened.
Love can truly fix the world. Love is Jesus Christ
it's call God . bring back God to their lives .
It's called Love.
God=Love
For the ones with or without religion, it's called love
It’s not called God , gosh, some thinking is too invasive, come on, she said it: it’s called science & studies & experts. Not once was God mentioned.
Some of these children may wonder where God was when they were being traumatized, fool.
Psychedelics cure ptsd and trauma more than any other thing
Hi edagdwg this video is sad not telling the truth about what ppl do they make blacks are no good a lot of good ppl from the getting doing better than a lot of white people sad it's what you want out of life Linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯
Hi edagdwg this is why I don't care for Miss O. Because now that she has money black as she is we are not good enough unless she says so sad can't run from yourself Linda j ☮️
Enough about your godawful past already! - Albert Ellis
Albert didn't know WTF he was talking about....you can't do RET and other cognitive therapies without addressing the bigger problems first.
The concept of childhood trauma affecting your adulthood is not new. I mean does anybody remember the movie Clueless from 1995? The famous line " what's your major childhood trauma?" And no Oprah should not be president nothing about Oprah's presidential. I swear you people obsessed with her. She's just a normal greedy human being. She needs to focus on these kids digging up these minerals for these damn cell phones. If she actually wants to do something to help somebody.
you clearly have not read Perry's book nor do you understand the new science around the neurobiology of trauma. Read and education yourself before spouting off.
kiva822 you do not know what I have or have not read clearly. So get off your high horse. I can say anything I want to say just like you can. 😾
‘What happened to you ?’ That is a game changer 💖
