Mental Monday: Why We Rescue People?

On this broadcast for Mental Monday, I will be interviewing Dr. Mary Lamia, who is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst who works with adults, couples, adolescents, and preteens in her Marin County private practice. She is a professor at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. Extending psychological knowledge to the public has been her endeavor for many years. Dr. Lamia's opinion has been sought in hundreds of television, radio, and print media interviews and discussions, and for nearly a decade she hosted a weekly call-in talk show, KidTalk with Dr. Mary, on Radio Disney stations. Her books include: Emotions! Making Sense of Your Feelings; Understanding Myself: A Kid's Guide to Intense Emotions and Strong Feelings: and, The White Knight Syndrome: Rescuing Yourself From Your Need to Rescue Others.

Mental Mondays allows listeners to ask the hard questions about their life, and how to better their life so that they are encouraged, equipped and understand how to live more simply in this life.  Topics around sex, marriage, relationships, faith, life, stress, you name it, we are talking about it.  We will use psychological concepts and biblical principles, and applied knowledge to assist as many as will hear what resonates in their spirit as truth for their life. Your host Lakita Long affectionately known as The Peoples Therapist will guide you through authentically and compassionately about topics that does not get discussed.  Check her out at The Peoples Therapist Fan Page.
