why you're so hard on yourself: high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, & self-worth ft. Therapist Debbie Missud

A conversation for my fellow anxious, perfectionist overthinkers who are really good at holding it all together but have a much harder time slowing down. I'm Unwineding with Therapist Debbie Missud & unpacking the psychology behind high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and unresolved trauma.We're talking about why we tie our self-worth to productivity, why rest can feel so uncomfortable, the hidden ways trauma can show up in our minds, bodies, and relationships, what functional freeze actually looks like, and how to recognize when your nervous system is overwhelmed.We also get into our need for control, the changing dynamics of female friendships, why being sensitive isn't something you need to fix, and how to start breaking the patterns that keep us stuck. My favorite reminder from this episode, though? Your worth was never something you had to earn. As always, take whatever you need from our conversation and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. xThank you so much to AquaTru for sponsoring this week's episode! Head to AquaTru.com and use promo code UNWINEDING to get 20% off your water purifier.
