74. Perfectionism: Where It Starts + How To Heal It
Perfectionism isn’t what most people think it is!!! It is not believing you are perfect or even trying to be perfect. It is the unconscious and fearful need to be perceived as someone who never gets anything wrong, never messes up, and always knows what they are doing. If you suffer from perfectionism, you are likely riddled with self doubt and believe that the doubt or unworthiness will dissolve when you become more skilled, more knowledgeable, more experienced…more SOMETHING! Perfectionism never allows yourself to be accepted in the now; it perpetually asks that you have to be something or do something before you can. Perfectionism is the antithesis of what we aim to foster on this podcast, which is SELF LOVE & ACCEPTANCE.

So in this conversation, we break down the illusion of perfectionism by connecting back to its originating wound in addition to exploring its twin sister - PROCRASTINATION. Both perfectionism and its counterpart procrastination are driven by a fear of not meeting expectations…but who is setting the bar?
Tune into this conversation if you’re seeking to understand why you feel like you can never relax and always need to do more.
