PART 2: The Sneaky Bastard of Perfectionism: 9 Phrases You Think Are Helping (They're Not) PART 2

from Emotional Badass · host Nikki Eisenhauer

Your healthiest-sounding self-talk might actually be perfectionism in disguise. HSPs tell themselves "I'm working on myself" or "I don't want to make excuses" thinking it's wisdom, but the critical voice underneath can end up kicking your peace down the road. I translate what these phrases actually mean in your psychology and show you how to practice good enough maturity instead of chasing an impossible standard.
