The Question Oprah Says We Need to Ask People Who've Experienced Childhood Trauma (The Mighty)

 

On Sunday night, Oprah Winfrey hosted a “60 Minutes” segment exploring a topic that for her, hits close to home — the mental health effects of childhood trauma.

Winfrey has been open in the past about her history of childhood sexual and physical abuse, which she said she experienced from ages 10 to 14. On “60 Minutes,” she shared a fellow survivors’ story, highlighting a treatment framework some experts are using to help those who’ve experienced trauma called trauma-informed care.

Trauma-informed care, Winfrey explained, “focuses on a person’s experiences before trying to correct their behavior, whether it be juvenile delinquency, poor performance in school or out-of-control anger.”
