What if striving for perfection is actually sabotaging your happiness? Join me, Dr. Angela Downey, as I uncover the intricate web between codependency and perfectionism in this enlightening episode of the Codependent Doctor. I lay bare my own battles with perfectionism, from obsessively preparing for a simple board game to the eventual burnout from seeking constant external validation. Learn how the need to be positively seen by others can lead to sacrificing one's own well-being and discover the critical role of self-acceptance in breaking free from this relentless cycle.
Moving forward, we delve into the severe impacts of perfectionism on mental and physical health, creativity, and relationships. Drawing inspiration from Brene Brown, I share how embracing imperfection and adopting a mindset of being "good enough" can liberate us from the shackles of unattainable standards.
