Have you ever felt the suffocating grip of perfectionism and the silent whispers of shame? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros are peeling back the layers of these complex emotions with one of their treasured clients, who bravely share their journey from critical feedback in their youth to the relentless pursuit of flawlessness in adulthood. They’ll tackle the roots of perfectionism and its dance with shame, revealing how they can distort our self-image and hinder personal growth. The path to healing from shame and perfectionism involves confronting painful emotions and past regrets but also necessitates a compassionate approach to self. The journey through shame and perfectionism is not a solitary one. The value of community—a group that understands and celebrates the shared human experience to unshackle personal growth.
