11 - Out of the Shackles of Perfectionism

Have you ever wondered if you’re a perfectionist? In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun, psychotherapist and mindfulness coach, explores perfectionism as a spectrum and notices how many of us might find ourselves resonating with that spectrum. In this episode, Elizabeth explores self-compassion as an antidote to perfectionism. And the ways in which meeting our perfectionism with vulnerability can actually enhance our ability to connect with others. Key takeaways: Perfectionism can be better understood on a spectrum and shows up in different ways for different people. The antidote to perfectionism is self-compassion. As we allow ourselves to be unabashedly imperfect, we actually can become more admirable and find it easier to connect with others. Resources: www.thecalmingground.com
