How to Overcome Perfectionism

On this episode of The Big Life podcast, we talk about perfectionism, where it comes from, how it affects every area of your lives and share strategies to overcome our perfectionist tendencies. Maybe you are the high achiever who is never happy with the outcome, thinks that they can do better and holds everyone on the team back. Or maybe you're the chronic dieter who always feels two pounds away from the goal. Perhaps you're the entrepreneur whose need for perfection blocks them from moving forward with their business. Whatever the scenario, the bottom line is the same: Perfectionism keeps us stuck in all or nothing thinking, leaves no room for nuance, can hold us back and lead to unnecessary stress. Our guest today is Leslie Santa, a licensed independent clinical social worker in the District of Columbia with a private psychotherapy practice in Dupont Circle.
