Show Notes
How do we combat perfectionism, especially in our social media-obsessed society where everyone feels pressured to make sure only their "highlight" reels are posted? What do you do when your life looks perfect, but you are silently falling apart? As a child were painful emotions not only disallowed but ridiculed or ignored? Do you live with perfectly hidden depression?
In today's episode, Dr. Margaret Rutherford describes a syndrome whose primary trait is perfectionism, fueled by shame and self-criticism. She helps us understand how someone can present as the perfect friend or co-worker, highly successful, engaged—and seemingly happy—while struggling with wounds that have never been acknowledged or seen for what they are.
