Description

How can we turn the worst hardships into lessons? How do we grow and change rather than stay trapped in an endless cycle? It is my honor to have Dr. Edie Eger on the show today to share her lessons on love, hope, and healing. At 93 years old, Dr. Eger is a powerhouse of positivity and wisdom. She teaches us how to become the survivor instead of the victim. She explains the importance of thinking about your thinking. And she gives us the power of “Yes I am, Yes I can, Yes I will”. To be inspired by all Dr. Eger has to share with us, click play. About the Guest: A native of Hungary, Edith Eva Eger was just a teenager in 1944 when she experienced one of the worst evils the human race has ever known. As a Jew living in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, the heinous death camp. Her parents were sent to the gas chambers but Edith’s bravery kept her and her sister alive. After the war, Edith moved to Czechoslovakia where she met the man she would marry. In 1949 they moved to the United States. In 1969 she received her degree in Psychology from the University of Texas, El Paso. She then pursued her doctoral internship at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss, Texas. Dr. Eger is a prolific author and a member of several professional associations. She has a clinical practice in La Jolla, California and holds a faculty appointment at the University of California, San Diego. She has appeared on numerous television programs including CNN and the Oprah Winfrey Show; and was the primary subject of a holocaust documentary that appeared on Dutch National Television. She is frequently invited to speaking engagements throughout the United States and abroad.
