Impossibly High Standards? Here's What's Really Going On

Do you hold yourself to impossibly high standards? Rewrite emails 10 times? Avoid starting projects because they must be “flawless”? You’re not alone. In this video, therapist Nori explains the deep psychological roots of perfectionism — trauma, anxiety, socially prescribed pressure, and the fawn response — and teaches practical, research-backed strategies to break the cycle. Learn how to stay ambitious without burning out, how to stop procrastinating, and how to create a life where “good enough” finally feels safe. Warm, grounded, compassionate guidance for anyone ready to live boldly without fear of mistakes. ************** Disclaimer: I write all my content, but I use my AI twin sister to deliver the message.
