EP 75: How to start healing perfectionism (and not fall back into it)

Perfectionism runs deep.  It's hard wired into our neurology and nervous system as an automated behavior that gets us love, approval and validation.  When we do things perfectly, things feel more certain, predictable and controlled.  When we let go of this exhausting behavior it feels exposing.. that we could be seen as 'not good enough', 'lazy', or letting others down (which ramps up our fears of rejection or being misunderstood).   In this episode, we talk about how you can change it:   Doing a proper honest audit of how perfectionism is showing up for you   A brain retraining conversation   Using perfectionism as a coping mechanism to keep yourself calm and safe   Sneaky ways perfectionism is still ruling your choices and behaviors (in your health, relationships and work)   3 clear non negotiables for progressing forwards beyond perfectionism   A weekly ritual for you to implement so that you can start healing perfectionism and controlling behaviors    Plus more!   Connect with Gemma here daily on instagram, and for more resources head to gemmahanley.com
