In this powerful episode, we meet Chaya, a young woman navigating deep inner conflict. On the outside, she appears to be a devoted religious girl, but privately, she struggles to observe the Torah and mitzvos. Haunted by the trauma of childhood abuse and the grip of an addiction she has worked to overcome, Chaya feels trapped in a double life, torn between how she looks and how she lives. With Dr. Z’s guidance, she begins to confront the pain beneath her struggles and explore what it means to live with honesty and self-compassion. Together, they uncover how embracing her story can open the door to a more authentic relationship with herself, with others, and with God. Timed for the High Holidays, this conversation resonates with all of us seeking sincerity in our connection to the Divine, reminding us that even in our deepest struggles, the path toward healing and authenticity is never closed.
