Trauma is shockingly common. Yet trauma-engendered behaviors are often met with ‘What’s wrong with you?’, when, as Dr. Bruce Perry relates, a better framing is, ‘What happened to you?’. This conversation is especially relevant as the healthcare workforce begins processing our collective trauma from the COVID pandemic. Dr. Perry co-authored a book with Oprah Winfrey that may helps us disentangle trauma and understand the powerful, protective role of healthy relationships with family, community, and culture. Reestablishing those relationships, and repairing the rents in our work communities, too, is an essential part of moving forward out of the challenges of the last three years.
