The Sugar Jar Podcast - A conversation with Dr. Edith Eger on perseverance, forgiveness, and her new book The Gift.

<p>In this episode of The Sugar Jar Podcast, Yasmine Cheyenne interviews Dr. Edith Eger, an American psychologist, writer of The Gift and New York Times bestseller, The Choice. She's also a survivor of the Holocaust and as she will tell you, she is not a victim, that she had been victimised. Listen as she walks us through how she has learned how to choose joy, and how to choose peace in the midst of still experiencing everyday grief, the type of trauma that sometimes doesn't go away.</p> <p> </p> <p>Quote -</p> <p> </p> <p>“Forgiveness has nothing to do with me forgiving because I don't have God given powers or do, we are given as a gift that I give myself and not allow anybody to take residence in my body” - Dr. Edith Eger</p> <p> </p> <p>Timestamps:</p> <p> </p> <p>2.32 - How are we able to move forward from trauma such as the Holocaust?</p> <p>3.00 - How do we begin to programme ourselves to choose something different?</p> <p>6.16 - Dr. Eger’s thoughts on if we don’t forgive, we are not moving on</p> <p>14.42 - Dr Edgar reveals what she learnt while writing her book The Gift</p> <p>22.03 - What has Dr. Eger learnt about the healing power of storytelling?</p> <p>24.30 - Dr. Eger on what she loves most about life</p> <p> </p> <p>Resources:</p> <p> </p> <p>Read Dr. Eger’s books <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Lessons-Save-Your-Life/dp/1982143096/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2EWFOCVQBZ0RG&dchild=1&keywords=the+gift+dr+edith+eger+book&qid=1610345698&sprefix=the+gift+dr%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-1"> The Gift</a> and New York Times best seller <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Choice-Dr-Edith-Eva-Eger/dp/150113079X/ref=pd_sbs_14_1/136-5846239-4491328?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=150113079X&pd_rd_r=000eaa99-7f41-46c9-841f-bc25ed41e45f&pd_rd_w=7OZ1h&pd_rd_wg=V60RN&pf_rd_p=c52600a3-624a-4791-b4c4-3b112e19fbbc&pf_rd_r=9V2GZ5SHWETATHW5M8J3&psc=1&refRID=9V2GZ5SHWETATHW5M8J3"> The Choice</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Download Dr. Eger’s Victim or Survivor worksheet <a href= "https://yasminecheyenne.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/VICTIM-OR-SURVIVOR.pdf"> he
