Adult Child

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. They are both rooted in the belief that we are not okay. They are both rooted in the belief that we must mold into someone we are not in order to be loved and accepted. They are both rooted in seeking external validation in order to feel okay about ourselves. “Perfectionism is a response to a shame-based and controlling home. The child mistakenly believes that she can avoid being shamed if she is perfect in her thinking and acting.” BRB p. 36 Alana Carvalho is a psychotherapist with a master's degree in psychological counseling from Columbia University and extensive experience as a therapist, teacher, writer, and program director. She is the host of The Codependent Perfectionistic Podcast and the author of "Raising Empowered Children: The Codependent Perfectionist's Guide to Parenting". She passionately assists people working on transforming their relationships, finding their voice, and healing trauma.⬇️DAMN THE JOIN PATREON - ADULT CHILD HEALING C OMMUNITY⬇️https://www.patreon.com/adultchild

For so many years, I believed that there was something inherently wrong with me and that there was nothing I could do about it.  For so many years, I believed I was unworthy and unlovable. I then learned in 2017  that all of this was a big lie. The problem wasn't me. The problem was my unresolved childhood trauma. I was an adult child - and that there were other people who once felt exactly as I did and found a way to recover.  That was the moment my life began. I have spent the subsequent years diligently working on unearthing the person I was always meant to be. In today's episode, I reflect on the divinely inspired journey that led me to creating this podcast and the truth that all of us are exactly where we are supposed to be experiencing exactly what we are supposed to be experiencing.

Jeannine Rashidi is the author of Abundance Beyond Trauma: Discovering Your Courage for Change and Commitment to Yourself. She is also a health & wellness practitioner focused on alleviating the core of physical, digestive, emotional, and mental tension. Having lived the first 25 years of her life with severe emotional, mental, sexual, and physical abuse, she began a journey of healing and changing the dysfunctional cycles. This was happening whilst building her own  practice Goodbye Tension, treating clients who also had trauma or adverse life experiences, questioning whether she was the appropriate practitioner for them since she was still deep into her healing journey. It became clear that her experience, along with her honesty, vulnerability, and authenticity with her clients, were the perfect ingredients for trust and guidance in their healing journey. Thereby, she followed this path, trusting that she could help whoever came or could find a practitioner to help them. Now, 18 years later, she brings her personal and professional experience to you.Support the Podcast -https://www.patreon.com/adultchildwww.buymeacoffee.com/adultchildFollow Andrea on social -www.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://soundcloud.com/dave_wave/a-friend-like-me-electro-swing-remix (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EPISODE SPONSORIntegrative Life Center is designed to help heal individuals struggling with mental health, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, sex, love and intimacy disorders, and and other life situations that have gotten in the way of living a satisfying and meaningful life.
