In this episode, we shine a light on one of the functions of perfectionism that we don’t often discuss, namely its ability to mask underlying anxiety and depression.

Our guest, psychologist and author Dr. Margaret Rutherford, has written the book on the topic, Perfectly Hidden Depression.

This conversation with Dr. Margaret is one of our favorites on the podcast to date.

We resonated deeply with how she describes perfectionism and how to challenge it, and we think you will, too.
