How Perfectionism Kills Our Pleasure & How to Turn it Around

The Vital Goddess

Perfectionism is sneaky thing.

It's usually creeps in during childhood as an attempt to feel safer in a world that didn't actually feel that safe.

In response to a confusing and overwhelming world (even if our parents did a great job), our young selves can easily feel uneasy and take on a belief that if we do things perfectly, we'll get our needs met.

We'll feel safe.

We'll feel accepted.

We'll prove ourselves worthy.

We'll earn the love we crave.

We'll be ok.

It's a trauma response.

And it shuts down our feminine and blocks our sensuality.

Perfectionism shows up in many different ways.

It hides behind all kinds of limiting beliefs and unconscious habits that can drive our behavior more than we realize.

And drive us into the ground.

Sabotage our creativity, pleasure and joy.

Keep us from experiencing love, true intimacy and connection.

Keep us from living the life we want to live.

Letting go of perfectionism is a process; a healing journey.

And while it's a common culprit when it comes to blocks to our sensuality, pleasure is actually the antidote.

There are three decisions every woman needs to make about pleasure that can quell perfectionism for good.

And open new pathways for joyful expansion.

Let's dive in.
