Ep 210: Perfectionism. It's not all tidy tables and colour-coded books.

Hey friend! Welcome to episode 210 of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!). Perfectionism. How do you feel about it? Do you identify as having perfectionist tendencies? I sure do, but not in the way that I used to think about it. You see, I'm not a very tidy person and am quite happy to leave things at a place of 'good enough'. But, and this is a big but, my inner critic laid clues that suggested perfectionism was showing up in another way and causing a lot of inner turmoil in the process. So, let's talk about it.In this episode you'll hear:What perfectionism really is (it's not just outward order)The false premise that all perfectionism is built onThe difference between values and rules (one of these things is not like the other)The role of self-compassion in navigating perfectionist qualitiesWhy movement and self-care are wonderful training grounds for recovery from perfectionism.The content I share on this platform is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
