This week's episode talks about perfection and shame with our special host Clinical Social Worker and Child Welfare Superhero Seth Riker.
Listen as we talk about how we have dealt with perfectionism, how it shows up in our lives, and how perfectionism impacts us positively and negatively. Dive in as discuss if perfectionism can lead to procrastination and the inability to move forward and let go.
How in the world does Seth continue to find the strength to keep going in this field?! By finding the small successes with clients and families. #assetandstrengthsbasedmindset
Key takeaways from this episode:
1. There is a spectrum of perfectionism that consists of insecurity, anxiety, and the perception of self-worth.
2. Check your ego at the door. Beware of making everything about you and avoid the messiah complex. You do not need control to fuel your inflated sense of self.
3. Don't give a shit about what other people think about you. Redefine what achievement and success look like for you. In other words: do you, boo.
4. Sometimes, things just don't matter, so learn to simply let
something go.
