E2: Overcoming ADHD-Related Perfectionism: Strategies with Therapist Mindy Bilotta

In today’s episode, I have the pleasure of sitting with Mindy Bilotta, a Registered Psychotherapist, from the Niagara region in Ontario, Canada. Mindy is my (anti)perfectionism and self-compassion expert, and I’m very pleased to be able to share this conversation with you.

Mindy and I talk about:

• What is perfectionism really? Why do we do it? Are there different types?
• Why should we have self-compassion? Is it an antidote to perfectionism?
• Why can people with ADHD seem rigid in their thinking & coping?
• Why is “undoing aloneness” an essential part of healing?

Mindy practices from the perspective that people have a wired-in capacity to heal and grow. Mindy is a Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF), an AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) trained therapist and Mindy has run 13 marathons (wow!).  Find Mindy:  Ready to Rise Psychotherapy | Facebook | Instagram.
