The Perfection Paradox: The Dark Side of Perfection

The Unstuck Yourself Podcast

Feb 22 2024 • 31 mins

Perfectionism.

Type A.

All-or-nothing.

These collective personality traits - which are merely a group of stories, beliefs, and behaviors - were born to protect you.

Yet, at some point, they crossed over from protective to counterproductive.

In today’s episode, we’ll talk about how, when, and why the perfectionistic part of you came to be. We’ll explore how it may have once helped you and how it’s now hindering you.

We’ll also paint a clear picture of the dark side of perfectionism…

Perfectionists struggle with procrastination, indecision, a need for control, flexibility, rumination, and an inability to see the bigger picture.

This leaves you stuck in the endless shame-perfectionism cycle.

By the end of today’s episode, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how this part of you came to be and what you can do to make peace with it and let it go.
