Precision or Control?

Many of us insist that feedback be precise or else they won't consider it. Yet often this precision serves more as a block, a defense mechanism that prevents our growth. In this talk, I share how people use precision as a sophisticated defense mechanism to keep them safe and prevent pain. Through examples from the clinic, I show the losses of this mechanism and how to allow yourself to "lower your standards" in order to accept influence. Practical tips will help you let more things land and grow. Click here to join our mailing list and get free resources on enriching relationships every week to your inbox!
