November 23, 2022People Pleasing and Perfectionism. Montoyia Shares Tea on Boundaries.
Click here 🗣 to tell us your thoughts, leave a voice message or ask a question.
Often, people-pleasing and perfectionism go hand in hand. The need to be perfect stems from a fear of not being good enough or disapproval from others. While nothing is inherently wrong with wanting to do our best, when we become wrapped up in trying to please others or achieve perfection, we can lose sight of what is truly important to us.
There are many things in this world that you can't control, but your response to it is one thing you always have a choice in. This episode is for you if the need to please and be perfect is becoming debilitating.
In this episode, I chat with Montoya McGowan, a therapist and the owner of Stopping the Chase Counseling and Consulting, about how the “rescuers” become the problem solvers and do it to the point where they are no longer putting themselves on this list. Stop being a Jesus Jr., and listen in!
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Understand the illusion of perfectionism and how to stop chasing after it.

Learn to trust something bigger than you to take care of others.

Identify ways to protect your mental + emotional energy.
