We often throw around the word “perfectionism”, but what does it actually mean? What’s the difference between perfectionism and being meticulous and conscientious at work or at home? What is perfectionism, and how does a person become perfectionistic? We ask all these questions and more to our guest, Dr. Danielle Dragon, a psychotherapist in Chicago who has her finger on the pulse of the challenges so many of us grapple with. 

On this DMC we discuss:

• Why Dr. Dragon feels that this is an important topic to discuss with our DMC audience

  
  

• The definition of perfectionism and how it forms

  
  



• How perfectionism manifests in a person’s daily life

  
  



• The challenges perfectionism poses for mothers and wives

  
  



• Tips to deal with perfectionism

  
  



• Dealing with disappointments and dashed dreams when life doesn’t pan out “perfectly”
