The Importance of Counterfactual Thoughts

#437: Do you have a project you want to start … but you’re stuck in analysis paralysis?

Do you feel like if you want to do something right, you have to do it yourself?

Do you try to wind down after the end of a long day, but your energy levels are just not quite restored?

If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

Psychotherapist Katherine Morgan Schafler, a former on-site therapist at Google, and author of “The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control,” joins us to chat about her research on perfectionism.

She shares a framework on five types of perfectionism. She describes the pros and cons of each type, and how to work through some of the negative tendencies to build a more emotionally healthy life.

Enjoy!
