Last week we explored the ways a perfectionist can try to control how those around them see and value them. These attempts can help us cope in the short term, but prevent us from experiencing deep relationships with God and those we are closest to.
In this episode, I’ve invited Janelle to share how she actively avoided any task that didn’t come easily to her. If she hadn’t tried, then no one could say that she had failed. But at the same time, she was paralyzed with fear, wondering how she could move forward.
Discover how God invited Janelle to heal and learn new ways of connecting with Him. You’ll be encouraged to remember the truth that God’s not disappointed by your lack of progress. You are right on time and He’s still at work in you.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why Janelle's parents were so distracted with their own pain
- How a sense of defeated perfectionism began to play our in her school years
- Why perfectionism can often be connected with a sense of entitlement
- How a lack of attunement to Janelle's needs as a child created unhealthy patterns in her marriage
- The ways becoming a mother exposed the lack of compassion her parents showed her
