All I needed was silence for my own inner critical parent to kick in and to take over.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of trying to be perfect? Louis knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of ACA Tuesday Zoombox, he opens up about his battle with perfectionism, rooted in a childhood marred by abuse and neglect. Louis grew up in an environment where love was conditional, and approval was rare and inconsistent. This led him down a path of relentless competition and people-pleasing, always seeking validation but never feeling truly accepted.
Through the ACA program, Louis discovered a safe haven where he could confront his inner critical parent and work through his anger. He shares how reparenting himself has been a game-changer, allowing him to embrace his true self rather than striving for an unattainable ideal. Louis also delves into his service work within the ACA community, where he helped develop a beginner's handbook to guide others on their healing journeys.
Louis’ story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of support and self-compassion. His journey reminds us that healing is possible, even when it feels like perfectionism has taken over our lives. Tune in to hear Louis' candid account of overcoming these challenges and finding self-acceptance through the ACA program.
