Perfectionism and ADHD, Lessons from Therapy, Part 2: Practicing Purposeful Imperfection #043
I believe perfectionism is an epidemic among ADHD women. Too many of us mastered this coping mechanism as young women in an effort to align the messages we received as girls with the reality inside our brains. And while it served us for a long a time, it doesn’t have to cripple us any longer. In the last episode, we sifted through our histories with perfectionism, and now we will practice being imperfect in a low-risk environment. Step by step we can build evidence for our brain that our new standards allow room for joy and peace in our everyday lives.
