Are you an overachiever?


Some perfectionistic traits - e.g., being hardworking or paying attention to details - can be extremely handy. But what happens when you don’t do things in moderation and feel compelled to do more and more, do everything right, and avoid mistakes?


In this episode, I chat with Clarissa Ong, Ph.D., about her work on perfectionism.


We discussed in detail:

  • The coherence trap
  • Meta-awareness: awareness about awareness
  • Exposure exercises as awareness exercises
  • Motivational flexibility
  • Uncertainty workouts
  • Self-compassion practices

(*) Show notes and resources of this episode


(*) Receive free weekly science-based, compassionate, and actionable skills to stop ineffective playing-it-safe


(*) Figure out your playing-it-safe profile in 5 minutes and identify the key thinking strategies that keep you living in your head


(*) Learn ACT skills for anxious achievers by taking Dr. Z. ACT courses
