“Embrace your imperfections and authentically be you,” says Bianca
In this episode of Shift with CJ, my guest is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, Bianca Hughes. She specializes in perfectionism and helps people embrace their imperfections and authentically to be themselves. Her authenticity creates a safe, non-judgmental, and warm environment, which allows her patients to BE YOU without a mask.
Bianca utilizes clinical interventions (CBT, Solution-focused, narrative, and psychodynamic) to empower clients to problem-solve effectively. I manage day-to-day financial, administrative, and marketing requirements for the private practice. In addition, to providing direction and support to 2 associate professional counselors. She provided therapeutic interventions to individuals experiencing stress management, relationship challenges, and trauma. Also, I created marketing strategies to generate awareness and develop referral sources for private practice.
Her passion is to help people become all God has created them to be. Bianca believes we all have a unique purpose that is sometimes buried under layers of shame, anger, anxiety, regret, fear, failure, inadequacy, discouragement, hurt, and resentment, amongst other things. Her goal is to help you peel back the layers to discover the treasure within you, authentically be you, and live a purpose-driven life. Today, I have her on the show to learn some fantastic facts about perfectionism.

Loneliness is a sense of emptiness- 26:11
“How do you think we can collectively solve this problem of loneliness? “I asked Bianca
“In 2020, many people needed help and therapy as it was a difficult year for most of us. Even now, the clinics are full of people because of the pandemic. People are depressed as they have nowhere to go in such a situation, and hence they feel lonely and seek help. Sense of loneliness was seen high in the population. People should understand they could be with people and still feel lonely, and it is a feeling of being alone that comes from inside, so the answer is not to be with people unnecessarily. Loneliness may decrease confidence, and the person may feel that they aren’t good enough. It's just a sense of emptiness in us; no external force affects loneliness, and people will have just to let go of that feeling”, she replied.
Social Media and its Impacts-33:10
“What do you think about social media and its impacts during the pandemic? “I asked her
“It’s a love-hate relationship; social media has been beneficial during the pandemic with all sources and helplines available online. People could even conduct online parties while sitting at their homes and enjoy themselves through social media. All the funny videos help to reduce stress as well.
On the other hand, it also makes you feel lonely when you see a picture of a family or a couple while you are alone. Therefore, people should use social media wisely and remember that this is a one-moment picture, and it is not fair to compare themselves with strangers. The lower the self-esteem, the lower you will feel on social media. Every weekend I delete my account and also advise that my patients and relax for two days without any interruptions”, Bianca replied.

“It’s a beautiful gift to see my clients choosing courageous steps to set themselves free by being vulnerable to share their stories of shame and express their truth. As a result, my clients begin to accept themselves right where they are, despite their imperfections.”- Bianca
