Listen "Three perfectionistic-compulsive habits that can derail your life"
Episode Synopsis
We humans undoubtedly just want to feel safe in life. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel safe and less vulnerable, but when primitive, reflexive habits of insecurity (a.k.a. the Child Reflex) steer our lives, then there’s an inevitable price to pay—emotional struggle.
In this follow-up to last week’s Self-Coaching episode, I dig deeper into three compensatory expressions that get us in trouble: the Star, the Fanatic, and the Control Freak. Join me as I explore these expressions, and don’t be surprised if you find some aspect of these perfectionistic-compulsive (PC) qualities in your own personality.
