Welcome to Shrink for the Shy Guy.

This is the show for you if you are sick and tired of being held back by fear, self-doubt,

social anxiety, shyness, anything that's stopping you from you being you.

I'm going to share the most powerful tools and resources that I've been discovering over the last 15 years

on my journey to eradicate social anxiety and instill confidence, first in myself and then

in every single person that I meet on my journey.

You're going to learn these tools and how to apply them in your life now so that you

can become the most free, powerful, bold, authentic version of you.

Hey, welcome today's episode of the show. Today, let's talk about being perfect and actually

specifically not being perfect.

And my goal in our conversation today is to help you deeply let go of the need to be perfect.

And you might think of yourself as a perfectionistic person or demanding that you be perfect.

And you might not. You might say might say no it's not really me you

know i'm not like compulsive about getting tasks done or cleaning my house or stressing about

making sure everything's perfect for a project or a party that's not me but what i've discovered

over the years is that perfectionism takes many, many forms. And it's

not always that direct, obvious kind. In fact, in a lot of times, it's very subtle, and it just

leads to feelings of being dissatisfied. For example, if you compare yourself to others and feel bad about yourself, which, I mean, who hasn't done that, right?

That's a form of perfectionism.

So we're going to define what perfectionism is.

We're going to talk about a lot of the different ways that it shows up.

I'm going to share some stories for my own life as well as clients.
