Welcome to the episode!😊

In this episode, I interview Carla Crivaro, a salsa partner and relationship coach who specialises in helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of sex, love, and relationships. Carla discusses the patterns people fall into when choosing partners and how unconscious beliefs play a significant role in these dynamics.

She elaborates on the common "mother-son" dynamic in relationships, where women may take on a nurturing role, and men may become passive. Carla explains how working with one partner can often shift the entire relationship dynamic, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and personal development.

Carla highlights the importance of clear communication and understanding individual needs. Additionally, she draws parallels between relationships and salsa dancing, illustrating how learning to follow and not predict a partner’s moves can enhance both dancing and relational interactions.

Key Takeaway:

A significant transformation in relationships can occur by working on oneself. Personal growth and self-awareness are crucial, and individuals can change relational dynamics even if only one partner is actively seeking support.

Timestamp Highlights:

- [03:24] Common patterns in relationship choices and unconscious beliefs.

- [05:19] The mother-son dynamic and its impact on relationships.

- [06:19] The importance of self-development in changing relationship dynamics.

- [10:59] Parallels between salsa dancing and relationship dynamics.

- [12:44] The role of communication and synergy in partnerships.

Carla's Quotes:

“It's really important to emphasize that a lot of it is an unconscious belief that you're not really aware of.”

“You can work with an individual to help change the relationship.”

“It's more important to be on the beat than to be in the regimen of the dance move.”
