Just happened across this outstanding interview between one of my favorites - Brene Brown - and Dr. Edith Eger. Honestly, I had never heard of Dr. Eger before but I'm glad to know of her now. Dr. Eger is a holocaust survivor, psychotherapist, and touted as the female voice to Victor Frankl. Although, I think it's not great to call her the "female voice of" anything, she's just a human voice that talks of how she withstood her time at Auschwitz and what she learned of being human from that time.
This podcast is worth a listen, topics range from how we see the world to what is love.
Though I could have remained a permanent victim –scarred by what was beyond my control– I made the choice to heal. Early on, I realized that true freedom can only be found by forgiving, letting go, and moving on. So I turned my life around and vigorously pursued a career in psychology. Combining my formal education and my own life challenges, I have helped countless others lead full lives by moving beyond their problems –no matter how insurmountable they believed them to be. This is my life’s mission and I will forever strive to help people make the choice to heal and thrive. That’s a promise! ~ Dr. Eger
Of course, I'm a huge fan of Brene Brown's and her "Unlocking Us" podcast. (Also awesome is her podcast "Dare to Lead")
