In this episode, I talk with Dr. Margaret Rutherford, a psychologist, author, and host of The SelfWork Podcast. In this episode, we discuss..

- how perfectionism and perfectionistic tendencies can mask depression

- why being vulnerable makes us feel unsafe 

- difficulty allowing yourself to express or feel anger, loss, grief, and other uncomfortable emotions 

- understanding perfectionism, destructive belief processes, and connecting with suppressed emotions
