Have you ever felt trapped by the need to be perfect, haunted by a chorus of "shoulds" and "musts" that hold you back from your true potential? Psychotherapist Bianca Hughes joins me, Natolie Warren, to explore the depths of perfectionism, its origins, and the path to liberating ourselves from its clutches. We tackle the relentless chase for flawlessness, sharing personal anecdotes that resonate with anyone who has ever felt that nothing they do is ever quite "enough."
Childhood traumas, whether the 'big T' or 'small t' kind, often set the stage for our perfectionist tendencies, serving as a shield against emotional pain or rejection. Bianca and I take a heart-to-heart dive into how these experiences shape us, discussing the crucial step of acknowledging these wounds to foster healing and growth. Our conversation serves as a reminder that perfectionism is not an inherent failure but a survival strategy we can overcome by understanding and addressing the past traumas that fuel it.
Redefining success is an intimate process of self-love and acceptance where stillness and self-care can be as triumphant as any achievement. On my journey, a three-month sabbatical revealed the profound impact of allowing oneself time to just be, and I share this experience to encourage others to find peace in the present moment. Bianca offers her wisdom on making subtle shifts that lead to significant changes, empowering you to embrace every step of your personal evolution. Connect with us as we conclude this chapter, eager for you to join us in future episodes, where continued growth awaits.
