#437: Do you have a project you want to start … but you’re stuck in analysis paralysis?

If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

Psychotherapist Katherine Morgan Schafler, a former on-site therapist at Google, and author of “The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control,” joins us to chat about her research on perfectionism.

She shares a framework on five types of perfectionism. She describes the pros and cons of each type, and how to work through some of the negative tendencies to build a more emotionally healthy life.

Enjoy!
