from No-Nonsense Psychiatry Practical Mental Health Lets Talk Together · host markjohnskay

Is your drive for perfection actually just a high-functioning form of anxiety? In this episode of No Nonsense Psychiatry, we’re exposing the cost of "getting it right" every time. We strip away the idea that perfection is a virtue and look at the psychiatric link between unrealistic standards and chronic stress. We provide three actionable strategies to help you embrace "strategic imperfection"—allowing you to get more done with significantly less mental strain.
