Navigating ADHD & Perfectionism
Manage episode 437810820 series 3473613
In this episode, we delve into the complex relationship between ADHD and perfectionism. While perfectionism is often seen as a positive trait, it can manifest differently in individuals with ADHD, presenting unique challenges. We explore how ADHD influences perfectionistic tendencies, from hyperfocus on details to struggling with executive function. Our guest, a psychologist specializing in ADHD, shares insights on recognizing perfectionism's impact on daily life and offers practical strategies for managing it. We also discuss the importance of self-compassion and reframing perfectionism as a journey towards personal growth rather than an unattainable ideal. Join us as we uncover the intersection of ADHD and perfectionism and empower listeners with tools to embrace imperfection and thrive.
