Carvalho, who specializes in relationship dynamics, shares her unique perspective on these intertwined issues, drawing from her personal experiences and professional expertise.
Carvalho explains how codependency and perfectionism often have roots in family dynamics and childhood patterns. These behaviors, while initially coping mechanisms, can become stumbling blocks in adult relationships. She emphasizes the importance of therapy and self-work to overcome these tendencies. Through engaging dialogue, Carvalho and Bewley explore how these patterns manifest in various types of relationships—romantic, familial, and friendships. One key takeaway from their conversation is the critical role of boundaries.

She also highlights the necessity of self-care and self-compassion on the path to healing. This episode is packed with practical advice and tools for anyone grappling with codependency or perfectionism. Whether you're seeking to understand your own behaviors or support someone else, Carvalho's insights provide a roadmap for healthier interactions and personal growth.
