Hi, I’m Sam, and I’m a perfectionist.
I used to think I wasn’t a perfectionist. After all, I tend not to focus on the details, and I often leave projects undone, let alone done perfectly.
Then my therapist called BS on that, and because she is not only a licensed expert but also knows me better than anyone else - well, I listened to what she had to say.
Once I became aware of my version of perfectionism - which is one of FIVE kinds - I saw my tendencies everywhere.
Then this year I read a book that rocked my world: The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler.
Two things: First, listen in on my conversation with Katy - a fellow perfectionist, but with different tendencies. Second, if you feel like you too might be a perfectionist, read the book. It’ll make you feel seen in powerful ways - and give you the courage to adapt your version of perfectionism in healthy ways.
