Being a perfectionist may sound like a good thing, but don't let the name fool you. A perfectionist's life is far from perfect. If you are one, or you know one well, you'll likely know of the debilitating effects that can come with a perfectionist's constant quest for excellence. So why does it manifest and who is more likely to struggle with it? To explore this world of impossibly high standards. Kathy Sheridan is joined by clinical hypnotherapist Fiona Brennan and author and writer Edel Coffey. Brennan explains what causes perfectionism, why more women than men are likely to suffer from it and the ways we can overcome it, while Coffey shares her personal experience of being a perfectionist, how it has affected different aspects of her life and the joy of finally letting go.
