Being a perfectionist can look like on the outside as having it all together, being able to always get the job done, and experience great success and achievement. But in reality, it's a coping mechanism typically used to shield us from the pain of not feeling worthy enough and accepted. It is a false sense of identity and a mask used to construct a life that we feel others will approve of. In this episode, Christina and Tess discuss what exactly is perfectionism, how it's a coping mechanism, and as always, dig deep into their own personal experiences.
