Forgive yourself and learn how to let go of perfectionism, shame and anxiety with Lauren Bledsoe LPC.

Hear specific strategies to reduce your desire to overload yourself, overdo it, overwork and blame yourself when you can’t manage a full plate. Understand the roots of perfectionistic tendencies, the anxiety and shame cycles which come with overachieving, and how you can keep the positive sides of such behaviors without beating yourself up constantly.

Take away tools and hacks to keep yourself balanced and on track, especially around self-care and habits and routines, and removing the stigma around seeking help, which is typically difficult for high-achievers.

Learn directly from a therapist who herself dealt with needing to be so good at everything that it left her personal health challenged, and listen to her inspiring story of renewal and change.
