The Question That Changes Everything
A fourteen-year-old boy named Samuel was making real progress in residential care-until he wasn't. Without warning, he erupted in violent outbursts, but only around one particular male teacher. The puzzle seemed unsolvable until Dr. Bruce Perry discovered something unexpected: the teacher wore Old Spice cologne, the same scent Samuel's abusive, alcoholic father had used to mask the smell of liquor. Sam's brain wasn't reacting to the teacher at all-it was responding to a ghost from his past, a sensory memory his body remembered even when his mind didn't. This is the heart of what trauma does: it rewires our brains in ways we don't consciously understand, shaping our reactions, our relationships, and our lives. The revolutionary shift proposed here isn't just semantic-it's transformative. Instead of asking "what's wrong with you?" when someone struggles, we should ask "what happened to you?" This single question opens a door to understanding behavior not as dysfunction but as adaptation, not as weakness but as survival. It reframes everything we thought we knew about "problem behaviors." That child labeled with ADHD might actually be displaying hypervigilance-a brain constantly scanning for threats. The "oppositional defiant" teenager might be showing resistance patterns learned from an unpredictable childhood. These aren't disorders to fix but adaptations to understand.
