The pursuit of excellence is about making the world a better place, while perfectionism is about looking good as a means of disguising the presence of the disorder.
Ever felt like you have to be perfect to hide the chaos within? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' with Bruno Jr. from SafeHouse Rehab Thailand dives into how perfectionism and addiction are intertwined. Perfectionism can be a sneaky form of denial, convincing everyone—and even yourself—that everything is just fine when it’s not. It’s like putting a shiny cover on a book full of messy pages. The pursuit of excellence aims to improve the world, but perfectionism?
That’s about keeping up appearances to hide deeper issues. The episode sheds light on how perfectionism can lead to procrastination and a crippling fear of mistakes. It’s not just about wanting things to be right; it’s about being so afraid of them being wrong that you get stuck. This facade of control can drag families deeper into the sickness of addiction, creating a vicious cycle of shame and fear. But there’s hope. The episode encourages listeners to embrace imperfection.
It takes courage to drop the mask and admit that things aren’t perfect—and that’s okay. Recognizing addiction as a disorder rather than a personal failure can open the door to recovery for both individuals and their families. This episode is a must-listen for anyone caught in the web of perfectionism and addiction, offering a path to break free from the illusion and start healing.
