Why You Are The Way You Are

07 Nov 2025

Description

Join us at the table with Dr. Bonnie Goff, a developmental psychologist and UCLA Professor whose research explores how early adversity and trauma shape who we become. From understanding the neurobiology of childhood experiences to building emotional resilience as adults, Dr. Goff helps us see how science and empathy come together in healing. Through her work and lived experience, she’s redefining what it means to grow, parent, and connect with compassion.
