Session 25 - Perfectionism - How Do We Break The Cycle, And Not Ourselves? with Sarae Pratt, Thea Jolly and Harriet Waley-Cohen

It's when you pin your self-worth to the attainment of those standards.  When we decide something within us is unnacceptable, it becomes abhorent in others and we exercise judgement.   Until we are prepared to look at the external environment of capitalism, consumerism, social media comparison, perfectionism will continue to thrive within us and between us
