349. Your Dark Night of the Soul: You Can't Heal What You Won't Feel, featuring Dr. Edith Eger

Every one of us will experience a dark night of the soul at some point. And it could even happen when those around you are telling you how many things you have to be grateful for. But pushing those feelings down or pretending they don’t exist doesn’t help you in that internal battle, it actually deepens your shame and struggle. Whatever our situation is, we need to recognize our feelings as valid, and move through them to get to the other side.

Dr. Edith Eger is a holocaust survivor, a psychologist, and an incredibly wise and resilient human. In today’s clip, she explains why rage is necessary for forgiveness, why suffering can uncover hidden strengths, and how even in the darkest places, there is always a gift to be found.
