How to Break Free from the Mental Prisons That Hold You Back with Dr. Edith Eger
About this episode
Dr. Edith Eger discusses breaking free from mental prisons and finding inner freedom through self-love and conscious thinking.
In this episode, Holocaust survivor, psychologist, and author Dr. Edith Eger explores how to break free from the mental prisons that hold you back. Drawing from her experiences in Auschwitz, Edith explores these mental “prisons” people create – victimhood, guilt, shame, judgment, and secrets and offers practical ways to break free. She emphasizes that true freedom comes from within, through conscious thinking, self-love, and personal responsibility. Her powerful insights remind listeners that while suffering is universal, how we respond to it remains our choice.
