#76: Perfectionism in Relationships & Dating

In this episode, I explore how perfectionism is not just a personality quirk but actually a protective mechanism.

We’ll look at why anxious partners often try to perfect themselves to earn love and avoid rejection, while avoidant partners unconsciously demand perfection from others to avoid vulnerability or disappointment.

I talk about where these patterns come from, how they protect us from feeling unworthy or unsafe, and what it looks like to move toward.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re either “too much” or that no one is ever quite “enough,” this conversation will help you see the perfectionism underneath - and how healing it can bring you closer to love.
