Do you strive to be flawless, set extremely high standards for yourself, and often criticize yourself?

If the answer is yes, you may be a perfectionist.

That means fearing failure and avoiding mistakes at all costs. Perfectionists equate imperfection or perceived failure with inadequacy. The unattainable drive for perfection leads to chronic stress and dissatisfaction.

Perfectionism and binge eating often go hand-in-hand. Perfectionistic traits - like self-criticism, need for control, and fear of failure - can lead to disordered eating behaviors. 

The path to overcoming binge eating means identifying and managing those perfectionistic attitudes that pop up. With more self-compassion, flexibility, and self-awareness, you can break free from the prison of perfectionism.

In this episode, learn ways to loosen the grip of rigid perfectionism to make space for a healthier, more balanced relationship with food and your body.
