In this episode, Alyssa and Rachelle get deep and personal as they explore the concept of internal “parts” — including the child, the parent, and the adult — and how those roles appear in therapy, daily life, and relationships. They reflect on how perfectionism, OCPD tendencies, and unspoken “rules” shape their experiences and interactions. Rachelle shares an honest look at struggles in her marriage, unpacking everything from emotional labor and resentment to feeling seen and validated in a partnership. The episode closes with a candid conversation about external validation, living between a 5 and a 7, and the power of creating vulnerable, safe spaces in relationships.
