Stop judging your reactions and start understanding your past. Learn how early brain development shapes your behavior and how to find a path to healing.

What if we stopped asking 'What's wrong with you?' and started asking 'What happened to you?' It’s a subtle shift, but it’s the key to everything because our brains are literally wired by what we go through.

Lena: You know, Miles, I was thinking about how often we look at our own behavior—or maybe someone else’s—and just think, "What is wrong with me?" or "What is wrong with them?" We’re so quick to judge those moments where we lash out or completely shut down.
Miles: It’s true. We hold ourselves to these impossible standards. But what if we stopped asking "What's wrong with you?" and started asking "What happened to you?" It’s a subtle shift, but according to Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey, it’s the key to everything.
Lena: Exactly! And it’s not just a nice sentiment. There’s incredible science behind it. Did you know that during the first nine months of life, a fetal brain can create 20,000 new neurons every single second? Compare that to an adult who might only create 700 on a good day.
Miles: That is staggering. It really shows why those earliest experiences are so disproportionately powerful in shaping our world. Our brains are literally wired by what we go through.
Lena: It’s fascinating how our past creates the lens we use today. So, let’s explore how we can start shifting that perspective to find a path toward healing.
