Codependency and perfectionism... two peas in a pod. They are both reactions to internalized shame and the belief that there's something wrong with us.
Ever felt like you need to be perfect to be loved? In this episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea chats with Alana Carvalho, a psychotherapist who dives deep into the tricky dance between codependency and perfectionism. Alana, who holds a master’s degree from Columbia University and has extensive experience in psychological counseling, shares her insights on how these behaviors often stem from internalized shame and a controlling upbringing.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you have to mold yourself into someone else to gain acceptance, this conversation is for you. Andrea and Alana explore how therapy, setting boundaries, and spirituality can be crucial steps in breaking free from these toxic patterns. They discuss the importance of recognizing these behaviors in ourselves and the journey towards reclaiming self-worth. Whether you’re dealing with these issues yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that might just be the nudge you need to start your healing journey.
