Does this sound like you?
- Are you busy trying to show up perfectly to whatever you do?
- Are you doing the same things you feel confident about but avoiding the things you’re not good at
- Are you working super hard so you don’t make mistakes?
Perfectionistic actions can show up in so many ways.
For example, if you find yourself:
- Happy in friendships, but struggling to find “the partner” in a romantic relationship.
- Wanting to start a new hobby, but not making the jump because you’ve never done it before and are anxious you may “mess it up.”
- Wanting to invite friends over to your home, but being afraid of being seen as lazy because the walls of your apartment are blank several months after moving in.
- Staying in the same position at work or the same major in school, even though you feel another opportunity would be more exciting for you.
High-achieving, striving or perfectionistic actions can go unchecked and unrecognized for a long time, to the point that they keep you stuck in a perfectionistic trap. But, it doesn’t have to be all bad.
In these episodes, you can learn Acceptance and Commitment skills to turn perfectionism from a rigid oppressor into a flexible friend; these are episodes from the Playing-it-safe podcast.
You will learn …
