Bruce D. Perry
“the most powerful form of reward is relational. Positive interactions with people are rewarding and regulating. Without connection to people who care for you, spend time with you, and support you, it is almost impossible to step away from any form of unhealthy reward and regulation.”
Bruce D. Perry, What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing

Oprah Winfrey
“So I’m not crazy?” “No. Your brain is doing exactly what you would expect it to do considering what you lived through.”
Oprah Winfrey, What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing

Bruce D. Perry
“It’s interesting-most people think about therapy as something that involves going in and undoing what’s happened. But whatever your past experiences created in your brain, the associations exist and you can’t just delete them. You can’t get rid of the past.
Therapy is more about building new associations, making new, healthier default pathways. It is almost as if therapy is taking your two-lane dirt road and building a four-lane freeway alongside it. The old road stays, but you don’t use it much anymore. Therapy is building a better alternative, a new default. And that takes repetition, and time, honestly, it works best if someone understands how the brain changes. This is why understanding how trauma impacts our health is essential for everyone.”
Bruce D. Perry, What Happened To You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing

Kahlil Gibran
“Perhaps the dark can veil trees and flowers from the eye. But it can’t hide love from the soul.”
Kahlil Gibran, Broken Wings

Isaac Asimov
“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. Z”
Isaac Asimov, What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing
