In today's podcast, Allison chats Abundance Community member with Cheryl to explore the niche of moral perfectionists—those caught between wanting to do more in today’s political climate and feeling paralyzed about where to start. They talk through how guilt, overwhelm, anxiety, and depression often show up for this group, even when many don’t see their struggles as “therapy-worthy.” Cheryl and Allison dig into how therapists can communicate this niche effectively, especially by highlighting the version of perfectionism that leads people to seek therapy when the weight of it all becomes too much to carry alone.
