[221] Jung at Harp_#221 Supposed there is an order that supersede perfectionism

Why Listen? Is perfection truly the highest standard we should strive for—or is there a deeper order beyond perfection that allows us to fully become who we are? How do perfectionistic patterns shape the way we live, create, and connect with ourselves and others? In this episode of Jung at Harp, Jungian Psychoanalyst Kathleen Wiley and Grammy-nominated composer and performer Deborah Henson-Conant explore the ways perfectionism can limit our growth and keep us from experiencing the fullness of our true Self. They reflect on the difference between chasing an ideal of perfection and embracing the wholeness that already exists within us. Through conversation, reflection, and curiosity, Kathleen and Deborah examine how perfectionism appears in creativity, relationships, work, and personal identity. They explore the possibility that there is a greater order—one that does not require us to be flawless, but invites us to live in alignment with our authentic nature. Join two harp players—Jungian Psychoanalyst Kathleen Wiley and composer/performer Deborah Henson-Conant—for another conversation where music, psychology, and everyday life come together in unexpected ways.
