Perfectionism as a Trauma Response: Performing for Safety, Love, and Invisibility

from Terror To Triumph · host Alphonso Pelt

Send us Fan MailTonight we're talking about perfectionism as a trauma response. Not ambition. Not excellence. We're talking about that internal pressure that says: if I make one mistake, I'm not safe.A lot of survivors learned to be perfect to avoid abuse, earn love, or stay invisible. And the problem is, perfectionism can keep you alive in childhood, but it can destroy your peace in adulthood.So we're going to name it, break it down, and talk about how to heal.Support the showhttps://www.youtube.com/@TERRORTOTRIUMPHLIVEhttps://www.peltsemporium.com
