3 Hidden Traumas Driving Perfectionism (And How To Start Taking Your Power Back Today).
****Join the Pressure To Peace waitlist here!**** Could your relentless pursuit of perfection be a response to deeply subconscious psychological trauma? This week, we're unmasking the connection between perfectionism and childhood trauma and how, unbeknownst to many, it shapes our lives.
Join me on this intimate journey as I talk about my own struggles with perfectionism, a journey sparked by a life-changing conversation in a café.
We'll tackle how perfectionism manifests as an obsessive fear of flaws and an excessive need for control. We'll also talk about how it is often rooted in trauma that leads to a vicious cycle of stress and anxiety.
However, there IS hope. Together, we're going to explore how understanding these traumas and developing psychological flexibility can liberate us from this exhausting cycle. You'll start to see why perfectionism is actually a SOLUTION and not a problem!
We'll also delve into the impact of growing up in a chaotic environment, where praise was tied to performance, and how it results in an internalized obsession with achievement and the fear of never being good enough. We'll scrutinize how this fear translates into overthinking, overanalyzing, and an overwhelming responsibility for others.
But this isn’t just about understanding, it's also about empowerment. In this episode, I'll be sharing strategies to challenge limiting beliefs and build self-confidence - all aimed at empowering you to transform perfectionism into a tool for realizing your dreams. This is your call to rise above self-doubt and the fear of failure.
Let's learn to set healthy boundaries with ourselves and others and create the life we truly want and deserve.
Tune in, and let this be the start of your own journey of understanding and healing from perfectionism.
