Summary of Edith Eva Eger's The Gift

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first step out of victimhood is to embrace what’s happening with a gentle embrace. When you stop fighting and resisting, you have more energy and imagination available to figure out what’s happening now and where you want to go next. #2 When you’re in love with yourself, you don’t feel lonely. When you’re alone, you don’t mean lonely. You’ll give yourself and your children what you never had: a healthy mother. #3 When we start loving ourselves, we start patching up the holes in our hearts, and we start making discoveries. We can be wounded and accountable, responsible and innocent. We can give up the secondary gains of victimhood for the primary gains of growing and healing. #4 We can release ourselves from victimhood by helping that inner child feel safe and letting her experience the world with an adult’s autonomy.
