Do you struggle with perfectionism as a Highly Sensitive Person? Or perhaps you simply know that you hold yourself to VERY high standards that often have you scrambling to keep up and achieve at the level you most desire. It can be exhausting running on this treadmill …

In this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that’s me!) I’m exploring this challenge faced by many highly sensitive people (HSPs) who find themselves trapped in a perfectionism loop.

You will hear:

What perfectionism is
Why it’s so important to recognise the inherent imperfection of being human
Why patterns of high-achieving and perfectionism can begin in childhood as we learn what we need to do and who we need to be to be safe in the world
How to use your body and your self-talk to reassure your nervous system that you’re safe when trying something new (i.e. not doing everything to 110%)
Why self-compassion is vital in this process
The distinction between pursuing quality and excellence that feeds your sense of meaning versus the pursuit of excellence at the expense of your wellbeing
