As a perfectionist, or a recovering perfectionist, where do you need to learn to allow yourself to lose control? Where are you apologizing for being a perfectionist? Is perfectionism even a problem that needs fixing?
We’ve spoken about perfectionism on the show before, but if you’re a recovering perfectionist, the learning never stops. There are five different varieties of perfectionist, as illustrated in a wonderful book I’ve been reading: The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler.
