On this episode of the Better Because podcast, Agus & Allie speak with Dr. Jessica Pryor, a professor, therapist, and researcher specializing in perfectionism. We learned how healthy striving can very easily turn into unhealthy perfectionism, especially in our society which normalizes reaching for perfection. Perfectionistic thoughts and behaviors can take a significant toll on one’s mental health, self-worth, and overall wellbeing, but the good news is, there are plenty of ways to cope with perfectionism! Dr. Pryor shares insight into how we can move past this debilitating way of being and embrace ourselves as enough, just as we are.
