The Problem With Perfect

Is Your Perfectionism Creating Unrealistic Expectations?


Listen Later

Psychologists tell us that unrealistic expectations form the core of perfectionism. As perfectionists, we expect ourselves to be perfect and are disappointed when we can't meet our unobtainable standards. 

But our unrealistic expectations don't end there. They likely extend to most areas of our lives- including those around us. Whether it's our ideas about the perfect partner, the perfect date or the perfect family gathering - our quest for perfection might just be doing us more harm than good. 

Join us for this eye-opening episode, as we hope to leave you resetting your expectations - making you and those around you happier in the process.
