In this week’s episode, our host, Kate Moryousseftalks about how perfectionism shows up alongside ADHD with her guest, Kristen Carder, an ADHD expert and host of the I Have ADHD podcast.

How it shows up for people with ADHD
Separating your worthiness from your performance
How shame from childhood can create perfectionism as an adult
Trauma response and perfectionism
Breaking perfectionism down to understand to override it
Fear disguised as perfectionism and how you’re ultimately protecting yourself
Awareness and using self-compassionate talk
Deciphering RSD (rejection sensitivity dysphoria) and perfectionism
Focusing on what lights you up and lowering the bar and inner expectation so we can move forwards
Rest can be the most productive thing we can do - manage our energy.
