“This episode on perfectionism in kids was a perfect reflection of what I went through as a young black girl and am still working on as an adult. I am also seeing similar patterns in my own children and they are in therapy. After I had my own breakthroughs in this area as an adult, I started including this as our main topic on the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation podcast to hear perspectives on this mostly through the eyes of other black women. Thank you for addressing this topic of toxic perfectionism (and unrealistic expectations) because it truly is important for more awareness around this to help prevent self-hatred that may end in self-harm or suicide. Unfortunately, I know this from personal experience, but fortunately, I hope my story could help save a life.”
