Perfectionism, on the other hand, results in struggles with self-doubt, fears of things like disapproval and rejection from our parents, from our loved ones, from our partners, from society.
Ever wondered why your relentless pursuit of perfection leaves you feeling more drained than accomplished? In this episode of the Sobersoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti breaks down the fine line between perfectionism and healthy striving. She reveals how perfectionism often traps us in a cycle of self-doubt and fear of disapproval, making it hard to enjoy our achievements. On the flip side, healthy striving involves setting realistic goals and finding joy in the effort itself.
Lynn dives into practical strategies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy to help listeners shift from perfectionism to a healthier mindset. She emphasizes that the aim isn't to eliminate discomfort but to manage it better, leading to increased creativity, productivity, and overall well-being. If you're tired of chasing an unattainable ideal and want to learn how to strive healthily, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice.
