The Magic of Forgiving: Dr. Erica Elliott on Giving Love; Forgiving your Mom; Finding Joy; and Never Wasting a Bad Experience

Family Medicine doctor and author of “Medicine and Miracles” and “From Mountains to Medicine”, Dr. Erica Elliott, shares the story of her breakdown in her early 20s which, under the guidance of a skilled psychotherapist, lead to finding her true self at this early age. This lead to another breakthrough: Erica found love and forgiveness for her Swiss mom who was a very harsh mother. This changed not only their relationships, but Erica’s parents’ marriage, the dynamics of the whole family, and even the new generations. Erica shares this inspiring story and other deep lessons she learned both from her mom and by herself. Most importantly: the magic of forgiving, that giving love is more satisfying than receiving love, and that you should never waste a bad experience.
