Saturn Returns with Caggie Binge Eating, Navigating Relationships and "Instagram Therapy" with Dr. Annie Zimmerman
In this episode, Caggie sits down with Dr. Annie Zimmerman, a London-based psychotherapist known for her compassionate, psychodynamic approach to therapy.
With a PhD in psychology, Dr. Annie Zimmerman is dedicated to helping clients understand how early life experiences shape their current behaviours and relationships.
Her insights on these patterns, especially around attachment and trauma, have resonated widely, partly due to her social media presence as @your_pocket_therapist—where she shares accessible, psychology-based tools.
Dr. Annie Zimmerman is also the author of Your Pocket Therapist, a book designed to help readers overcome unhelpful habits, heal past traumas, and create meaningful relationships.
Together, Caggie and Dr. Annie discuss:
🪐 Dr. Annie’s struggles with binge eating at university, and how this led her to pursue a career in therapy
🪐 Navigating difficulty in relationships, power struggles and attachment patterns
🪐 The rise of "Instagram Therapy" and how it can be both helpful in providing education, but also problematic when people start diagnosing their partners based on pop psychology terms they've learned online
🪐 The importance of finding the right therapist fit, and not feeling discouraged if the first therapist isn't a good match
