Perfectionism is often mistaken for "being perfect" or "doing something perfectly." Many people assume that it must be a good thing. But, in actuality, perfectionism holds us back. Perfectionism often creates pressure, which can paralyze us. So, instead of embracing it as a good thing and giving ourselves a pat on the back for doing something perfectly, we scold ourselves.

In this episode of The Recovery Junkies, Carlos, Chris and recurring guest Kieu Hatch discuss why perfectionism is a false narrative that holds us back from becoming real and authentic people.
