131. Sarah #40: Doing Your Personal Best

Sarah acknowledges being in a constant battle with herself because of how she wants to hear feedback from others for things she has done. She has a hard time accepting praise; and, she doesn't mind constructive criticism if it helps her grow. Doug helps her make sense of getting comfortable without having feedback be the validation. Doug and Kenzie break down external versus internal validation and the drive to be perfect versus doing your personal best. They discuss what it is to be good enough and how "meets expectations" isn't a negative thing. Striving for perfection is about doing your best, which can be "good enough" if we allow it to be. However, many of us feel that we're not doing enough unless something is done perfectly, especially when there's a historical experience of criticism and an internal voice in our head constantly criticizing us. What does doing your personal best mean to you? Can that be good enough or does it need to be perfect? Doug's Group Therapy Practice YMB Webpage Join us on Social Media:
