Dr. Thomas Curran can spot a real perfectionist a mile off. As a psychologist and lecturer at LSE with a broad body of work on personality characteristics, Tom's recently turned his scientific approach to perfectionism: where it comes from, how it impacts our lives, and why we've recently seen a boom in cases.
Today on The Braincare Podcast, Tom explains why high standards and goal-setting do not a perfectionist make! We explore how to know if you're a perfectionist, the impact of deteriorating self-image on our mental health, and why everyone you interview for a job claims to have the same flaw.
We talk about:
- The three types of perfectionism
- Are there any benefits to perfectionism?
- Job pressure in a highly competitive society
- Isn't it good to set goals?
- Cyclic self-criticism and self-defeat
- The link between perfectionism and mental health
- Overcoming setbacks
- The power of vulnerability
