-How perfectionism can manifest physically in the body and in the external world around you

-Cait introduces and discusses the concept of Internal Family Systems (IFS), developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz: The overall concept being that we are not a mono mind; we don’t just have one self – we have many different “parts”
