This week our Host, Susan Guthrie is joined again by Vassia Sarantopoulou, Counselor - Psychologist, Msc and the creator of AntiLoneliness who returns to the podcast to help us to break out of the trap of perfectionism.

Are you a Perfectionist?  See if this sounds like you:

Perfectionists strain compulsively and unceasingly toward unattainable goals, and measure their self-worth by productivity and accomplishment. Pressuring oneself to achieve unrealistic goals inevitably sets the person up for disappointment. Perfectionists tend to be harsh critics of themselves when they fail to meet their expectations.

Psychologist Vassia Sarantopoulou has a huge following for her site AntiLoneliness because she makes sense!  She has a gift for giving us insights into our behaviors and patterns helps us to see how they are failing us and how we can break free.  This week she tackles Perfectionism (something I might have a slight issue with myself) and this episode will be the beginning of your path to imperfection and FREEDOM!  Be sure to listen!
