E23 - How does ADHD relate to my perfectionism?

  • Summary

  • In this episode we tackle something many ADHD people struggle with which is that hiding-to-nothing, perfectionism. I wondered my whole life where my perfectionism came from and it was until I received my diagnosis that I started to understand a bit more.

    I mention Stephen Guise's book How to Be an Imperfectionist -- you can find it on Amazon.

    In this episode:

    • The ways that perfectionism manifests itself.
    • The role that rejection sensitive dysphoria plays in perfectionism.
    • How emotional dysregulation triggers the perfectionist.
    • Why perfectionism is an inevitable consequence of masking.
    • What it feels like to become a "recovering perfectionist."
