In this moving episode, we meet Esty, who grew up in a turbulent home marked by conflict and a painful family secret that shaped her sense of self. Carrying deep feelings of toxic shame, Esty has long struggled to be vulnerable, especially within her marriage. Opening up felt unsafe, not just with others, but even with herself. With Dr. Zimmerman’s guidance, Esty begins to uncover the root of her guardedness and the fear that comes with facing her own emotions. Together, they navigate the delicate process of building trust from within, working toward closure, healing, and the hope of a deeper connection ahead.
