WELCOME TO PLAYING PERFECT!
Hi there!
I’m Bonnie, The Perfectionism Coach.
If you’re wondering if there’s a way to get a handle on your perfectionism, you’ve come to the right place.
If you’re like most women in this community, you find that on the outside, everything looks great.
Yet, on the inside, perfectionism presents a struggle.
Sometimes it’s the overwhelm, other times it’s fear, and too commonly underneath it all, there’s shame.
You’re fine, and if asked, you usually tell people you’re good.
But really, you long for a life you love.
Enter: perfectionism coaching.
I teach, and coach perfectionism (there’s more than one type) to help us (I have my version too) become more resilient, solve day-to-day challenges (hello, dishwasher that was not loaded properly), and live a more peaceful life.
Like you, I’m trying to figure out this thing called life with my perfectionism lens that sometimes creates a complicated view.
But when I remember it’s a lens I can take off or put on when I choose, life becomes more beautiful.
Coaching offers clarity for the doubt perfectionism can bring.
Coaching offers compassion as a replacement for the criticism perfectionism often carries.
Coaching offers freedom in all the places where fear and judgment like to shout about how “something is wrong here” and “that’s not going to work” and “it’s not good enough.”
There’s another way to do perfectionism.
You don’t have to label yourself as a “recovering perfectionist” or as someone who is “overcoming perfectionism” or as anything that doesn’t feel good.
If the label feels good, keep it; otherwise, consider dropping it.
And then consider dropping all the ways perfectionism isn’t working for you.
This is how I can help. Another version of perfectionism is available for you, and there could be an amplified version of perfectionism available you haven’t yet tapped into.
There’s something in perfectionism research (doing perfectionism research was how all this began for me) called adaptive perfectionism. Therein lies many possibilities for perfectionism to become a tool you can choose to use when you want to.
And if it’s a tool, that means it can also be put down and not used when you don’t want to.
Because we all want a perfectionist as a heart surgeon or as an auto mechanic, but sometimes we don’t want that perfectionism to show up in our marriages or delay us from writing a book or having guests over because the house can never reach the level of Pinterest pictures.
I’m in the business of putting the power of perfectionism back into the hands of the person who is using it, so they don’t have to feel used by it.
I can show you the way.
