Welcome to Complex, the psychology podcast that will help you live more positively, calmly and - hopefully - with more balance.
Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, is on a mission to sift through all the information and misinformation that’s out there around our mental health to help you understand what your mind is doing and create more self-awareness.
She invites expert guests – trained psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists – to join her and together they share insight and valuable tips.
In this episode, Kimberley delves into perfectionism with health psychologist Dr Sula Windgassen.
Is perfectionism useful? Does it help you achieve more? Live a happier life? Sula and Kimberley explore what perfectionism does, what it does to us, and what we can do to manage it.
Please get in touch if there’s anything you would like Kimberley to explore. The email address is complex@bbc.co.uk. We might use what you tell us in the show, but we will make sure we do so anonymously. If you don’t want your email to be included in the podcast, then please remember to let us know.
