The Emotional Alchemy Podcast

Send us a text

I am a recovering perfectionist. Instead of thinking that I need to "heal" perfectionism, it has felt softer to think of perfectionism as something to make more malleable. Join me, Trauma Educator Lindsey Lockett and Messaging Guide Natalie Ross as we delve into the entangled web of perfectionism that has left us feeling disempowered.

We explore perfectionism from different angles: the societal pressures, health anxiety, and the role of social media in perpetuating perfectionism. Our conversation will arm you with tools to approach perfectionism in your own life with compassion. We'll explore transitioning from freeze to play, the need for pleasure, and the importance of manageable tasks. Get ready to navigate the labyrinth of perfectionism to emerge with a kinder relationship to yourself.
