If you’ve been working very hard to heal and still feel stuck, I made this episode for you. I also made it for practitioners who wonder whether they’re overwhelming some patients with too much information, too many protocols, and too many steps. I share my own story of perfectionism during my illness, who tends to be vulnerable to this pattern, how it affects the whole family, and the tools that help the body and mind feel safe enough to heal.
