Breaking Free from Perfectionism: Emotional Sobriety Insights

When ideas become more important than people, we're going to run into trouble. This idea of perfectionism means that you're doing everything perfectly right instead of what it really means, which is someone who believes they're supposed to always do something.
Perfectionism can be a relentless taskmaster, chaining us to impossible standards and often leaving us feeling inadequate. In this episode of 'Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery', psychotherapists and best-selling authors Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger dive deep into how perfectionism affects our emotional well-being. Drawing from both their professional and personal experiences, they discuss how perfectionism can undermine our relationships, self-esteem, and overall happiness. Thom and Dr.
Berger offer practical advice on how to cultivate self-compassion and emotional resilience, especially during the holiday season when stress levels can soar. They also share poignant anecdotes that highlight the importance of prioritizing people over ideals. As Dr. Berger aptly puts it, 'When ideas become more important than people, we're going to run into trouble'.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the oppressive grip of perfectionism and find a path to a more emotionally balanced life.
