Thursday, 14 May, 2026
In this very relatable episode, we meet Rachel, a young woman struggling with feeling unseen, misunderstood, and disconnected at home. With a painful relationship with her mother and a deep sense of loneliness, she turns to unhealthy escapes like talking to boys and engaging in inappropriate behaviors, searching for comfort, validation, and a sense of being wanted. Beneath the acting out is someone carrying real pain and longing to feel loved and understood.Dr. Zimmerman helps Rachel explore what is really driving these behaviors, explaining how unhealthy coping mechanisms can develop when someone feels emotionally neglected or unheard. Together, they discuss the importance of finding healthier ways to feel valued and connected, while learning not to define yourself by your struggles or mistakes.To be a future guest (yes, we can distort your voice):Please visit LivingLchaim.com/podcasttherapyYou can explore the world of mental health with our other show"That's An Issue":https://plinkhq.com/i/1607752110/e/?to_pageReach out to Dr. Z here:Child and Adult Psychological Services, PLLCEmail: Info@caapsgroup.comOffice: (718) 338-4477Website: https://caapsgroup.comLchaim.
