By-Passing a Life: Where’s the Healing?

Doctor Epstein will present a PITH talk along with Drs. Trina Seligman and Dawn Lawlor. The PITH talk is a Personal Insightful Tale of Healing. (A relative of the NPR’s The MOTH: True Stories Told Live)

Doctor Epstein's Topic:

Dis-ease tells a story not just of our cells and a diagnosis, but of our selves and our life. The story of my father's life, illness and early death, was instrumental in guiding my choice of career as a Naturopathic Physician and my specialty – Mindful Healing. Bearing witness to my father’s experience, the care he received within the medical system, and coming to understand the connection between his biography and his biology, led me to a life-long exploration to seek the answer to the question, “Where’s the Healing?” and to embark on my own healing journey and spiritual path. The memories, dreams, pain and lessons from my childhood were not lost, rather they were imprinted and embodied in my mind, heart and soul. They remain the foundation of my own healing, practice philosophy and the development of my “3 Living Questions,” which have become the cornerstone of my work as a physician, speaker and mentor.
