Episode 5 - Greg Chasson PhD - The Perils of Perfectionism And How To Overcome It

Have you ever wanted to do something so perfectly that you ended up not doing it at all? Dr. Greg Chasson is a leading authority on transforming compulsive and impulsive behaviors and the author of "Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management.” While it is true that many characteristics of perfectionism are often present in autistic populations, Dr. Chasson joins us to share more broadly the ways that perfectionism shows up to some degree in all of us, and how families, social media and culture reinforce these tendencies. We discuss concepts like process paralysis, avoidance, and ritualistic behaviors associated with perfectionism and explore valuable tools such as exposure therapy to help interrupt self sabotaging patterns and Dr. Chasson’s “emphasis framework” to help you finally break free of the burden of having to do everything perfectly. LINKS: Connect with Dr. Greg Chasson Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management by Greg Chasson, PhDJoin the Flawed:Live workshop Learn More Aspiritech - Chicago based company helping autistic professionals
