Ep. 154: 5 Types Of Perfectionism And How To Make Them Work For You

Why do so many self-described perfectionists, bright, ambitious and hardworking women, feel like something is wrong with them? 

Why are women taught that perfectionism is a flaw to be managed?

Why are perfectionists so hard on themselves?

And how can ambitious achievers, striving towards the ideal, find peace and self-compassion while continuing to embrace their perfectionism? 

I wanted to dive into all these questions with my guest today, Katherine Morgan Schafler, because I both identify as a perfectionist and work with a lot of perfectionists: high-achieving, successful women who use alcohol as a way to disconnect from the anxiety and overwhelm of their lives. 

Katherine’s a psychotherapist, speaker, author of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control and former on-site therapist at Google who has worked with legions of self-described perfectionists.

In this episode, we dive into all things women and perfectionism.
