Breaking Free From Perfectionism
If you or someone you know considers themselves a perfectionist, it can often be confused as a strength, when in reality it’s a self-protective strategy to project our ideal selves 100% of the time. It’s just one example of our sophisticated fig leaves.
If we use this strategy to survive, shame and fear of being exposed are the motivators for almost everything we do. On top of this, we become extremely sensitive to the imperfections of others and have an extremely hard time accepting feedback or criticism.
