241 - Are You a Perfectionist? 3 Reasons Perfectionists Have High Anxiety

Apr 2, 2024

Some things just go together.  Peanut butter & chocolate, mac & cheese, and perfectionism & anxiety. 😉

But in all seriousness, if you notice that you tend to have perfectionistic tendencies, you likely also manage high-functioning anxiety. 

You feel uneasy when things are out of order.  It drives you crazy when people don’t follow rules.  It’s hard to relax when the house is a mess.  You have really high expectations for yourself and others.

I get it because I’ve been there too. 

And in today’s episode, we take a look at where your perfectionism might have started and then explore 3 reasons why perfectionists tend to have high anxiety (and what to do about it).
