Embracing Perfectionism with Katherine Morgan Schafler
Being Well with Forrest Hanson and Dr. Rick Hanson
Perfection Is Wholeness, Not Flawlessness
Perfection should be understood as completeness rather than flawlessness, indicating a state of wholeness. The term 'perfect' often relates to an absence of change rather than an absence of flaws.

Aspiring for perfection is essentially an aspiration to feel whole and satisfied with the current state of things, desiring not to alter any aspect of a situation.
