Bruce D. Perry – American psychiatrist and neuroscientist, author of «The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog» and co-author of «What Happened to You?» with Oprah Winfrey. His pioneering work revealed how childhood trauma rewires the brain, reshaping the way therapists and educators support children. Compassion and storytelling stand at the heart of his approach.
✨ As a boy, he dreamed of becoming a musician before turning to medicine. 📚 The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog became a seminal text on trauma. 🌍 Consulted the FBI after the Waco siege and supported survivors of mass tragedies. 💡 Developed the “neurosequential model” of therapy to heal traumatised children step by step. 🎤 Known for lectures that sound more like human stories than science lessons. 🏛 Worked internationally on cases of child abuse and recovery. 🙃 Curiously, he sometimes gets so caught up in storytelling that he forgets his slides. 😄 Amusingly, he sketches brain diagrams during talks and laughs at his “first-grader drawings.”
