"Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger than we were before.”

Most of us know ourselves, kinda well. Be honest, how well do you know your behaviors and patterns? You really don't. How many times have you heard from your partner, "you always do that!"

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")
