The Journey of Grieving, Feeling and Healing | Dr. Edith Eva Eger | TEDxSanDiego

Dr Edith Eva Eger, best-selling author was just 16 years old when she experienced one of the worst evils the human race has ever known. She and her family were sent to Auschwitz, the heinous death camp. Now, Dr. Eger is a sought-after clinical psychologist and lecturer, helping individuals discard their limitations, discover their powers of self-renewal, and achieve things they previously thought unattainable. Join us for a talk and deep conversation, as she draws on her experiences during the holocaust to talk about how we respond, how to be a “survivor and never a victim of anything, anyone or any circumstance.“ Dr. Eger’s talk will be followed by a brief interview and a moderated interactive conversation with the audience.
