There was a time where perfectionism ruled my life..   My work, my relationships, my health, money, and my inability to slow down, rest and gift myself pleasure   There were so many rules about what I had to do and how I needed to behave - if I wasn't meeting these perfectionist rules, I felt unworthy, insignificant and extremely insecure   It was a low reward high exhaustion way to meet my needs of safety, security and certainty from a fear based state   And that's the conversation I bring to this podcast episode:   My own stories of struggle with perfectionism What's really behind standards of perfectionism? Where does perfectionism come from? The psychology beneath this common pattern Why we keep choosing it, even when we wish we could "go with the flow" The hidden conflict it creates in relationships    Plus more!
