This week on Reloscope: The Relationships Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella sits down with first-generation Latina therapist, coach, and speaker, Cynthia Flores, to discuss the role of self-worth in overcoming codependency in romantic relationships.

As a daughter to immigrant parents in California, Cynthia has had similar experiences as her client base, leading her to be highly empathetic in her practice. Through her career, she aims to empower BIPOC groups to heal from their past traumas, alongside guiding them through work and life in general.

In this episode, Cynthia posits that overcoming codependency in a romantic relationship without breaking up is possible, sharing her firm belief that therapeutic relationships are far more beneficial for our healing than isolation. Together, Marie and Cynthia delve into how self-worth contributes to healing, and identify the necessary steps toward this path.

So, whether you’re questioning codependency in your relationship, or simply want to learn more about how to improve your self-worth, this episode promises to be eye-opening.

Welcome back to another episode of Reloscope: The Relationships Science Insights Podcast! This week, host Marie Stella is joined by relationships and marriage counselor Kerrie Lumbewe to understand what it takes to resolve relationship issues from the past.

Kerrie is a fully registered psychologist and a member of the Psychology Board of Australia. She is also a registered Medicare provider and an Associate Member of the Australian Psychological Society. Having completed a Postgraduate Diploma of Psychological Practice at the Australian College of Applied Psychology, she is now a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist and uses the Gottman Method in her therapeutic work with couples.

In this episode, Kerrie shares that reducing lingering stress from relationship history can make all the difference in a couple’s attitudes towards each other. For starters, she recommends reflecting on one’s ‘pain points’ or seemingly minute issues from the distant past that still affect them in the present.

Together, Marie and Kerrie discuss the ways in which couples can reconcile and move forward with their relationship. They also mention daily habits that couples can practice when attempting to reduce relationship stress.

So, whether you’re finding yourself detonating at every word your partner says, or simply eager to learn about how to nip it in the bud, tune in today for some words of wisdom!
