Perfectionism & ADHD: overriding our brains to reach our potential - Re-release

"Choosing between the potential of failing and maybe succeeding...or failing ahead of time by not doing it at all."

In this week’s episode, our host, Kate Moryousseftalks about how perfectionism shows up alongside ADHD with her guest, Kristen Carder, an ADHD expert and host of the I Have ADHD podcast.

During this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Kristen talked about:

• What perfectionism is
• How it shows up for people with ADHD
• Separating your worthiness from your performance 
• How shame from childhood can create perfectionism as an adult 
• Trauma response and perfectionism
• Breaking perfectionism down to understand to override it
• Fear disguised as perfectionism and how you’re ultimately protecting yourself
• Awareness and using self-compassionate talk 
• Deciphering RSD (rejection sensitivity dysphoria) and perfectionism
• Focusing on what lights you up and lowering the bar and inner expectation so we can move forwards
• Rest can be the most productive thing we can do - manage our energy.
