Adult Child of Dysfunction

E99: What is Perfectionism and How Do I Stop It?


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive deep into the roots of perfectionism, especially for adult children of dysfunctional families. I’ll share my own experiences with perfectionism, how it developed as a coping mechanism for the chaos of my childhood, and why so many of us struggle with it. More importantly, we’ll talk about 5 effective ways to overcome perfectionism and begin living a more self-compassionate, balanced life.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
  1. Challenging Unrealistic Standards: I’ll guide you through recognizing and adjusting the impossible standards you’ve been holding yourself to. It’s about progress, not perfection.
  2. Embracing Mistakes and Imperfection: Learn how to shift your mindset from fearing mistakes to seeing them as valuable lessons and steps toward growth.
  3. Breaking Tasks into Smaller Steps: I’ll show you how to tackle overwhelming tasks by breaking them down into achievable actions, making the journey much easier.
  4. Shifting Your Focus to Self-Compassion: We’ll explore how to quiet that inner critic and cultivate kindness toward yourself through mindfulness and self-acceptance.

By the end of the episode, you’ll walk away with practical steps to start letting go of perfectionism and begin embracing a healthier, more fulfilling mindset. Tune in and take the first step toward freeing yourself from the chains of perfectionism!
