Emma Tempest, AKA the Play Coach, joins Annie Friday today to talk about perfectionism, the good, the bad, and the really, really unhelpful aspects of it. Many adults have learned perfectionism through school and the constant measuring that can leave humans of all ages, but particularly children, feeling like they aren't good enough. While perfectionism can protect the ego, too much of it can be limiting and even downright toxic. Emma shares her thoughts on how to deschool, or deprogram, perfectionism when it is no longer serving a purpose. Annie and Emma also discuss strategies and methods to try to guide young people through childhood without leaving them paralyzed by perfectionism. Find more from Emma and check out her work as a positive psychology coach where she can help get you out of black-and-white thinking and into a full spectrum rainbow of thoughts to support your emotional growth.
