The Lightcast S3E3: Perfectionism as Protection from Shame & Insecurity

On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how perfectionism is often a protective mechanism from feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and shame. I discuss how the fear of being shamed or rejected develops and how we may protect ourselves from re-experiencing it. I shine a light on how you can start to break the shame cycle and learn to compassionately embrace all of yourself.
