Breaking Free from Perfection: Finding Peace in Imperfections
When we're thinking about that inner divinity, we are saying: it's all perfect. There's not a judgment around it.
Perfectionism is a relentless pursuit that many of us know all too well. In this episode of 'Hungry for Answers', host Robin H. Clare teams up with Paulomi Campbell, Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, to tackle the heavy burden of striving for perfection. From the moment we can remember, we're often inundated with unrealistic expectations from parents, partners, bosses, and even ourselves. This pressure can lead to a cascade of unhealthy habits and self-esteem issues.
But what if we could shift our perspective and see ourselves as perfectly imperfect? Robin and Paulomi dive deep into this concept, exploring how to embrace our divine imperfections and let go of the unattainable standards we've set for ourselves. They discuss the profound impact of inner healing and how addressing unhealed trauma can transform not just our lives but also those around us. As Robin wisely notes, 'One person's healing affects everyone around them'.
This episode offers a refreshing take on perfectionism, providing listeners with the tools to recognize their inherent worth and cut themselves some much-needed slack. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, mental health issues, or simply the weight of perfectionism, this conversation promises to be a breath of fresh air.
