The Rock & Roll Shrink Radio Show Ep. 79 The Show Must Go On (Perfectionism)

Tonight’s show is called, “The Show Must Go On (Perfectionism and People Pleasing).”

Tonight, we’d like to talk about Perfectionism and People Pleasing; why many people experience these traits or habits, and how they are all loosely related.

Many of us complain about the idea of spending so much time worrying about what other people think and have to say about us and how we conduct our lives. This concern can come out in different ways for different people.

Some of the most common are:

• Perfectionism
• People Pleasing

There are many different ways that we engage in trying to get the approval of others, and the reasons can vary to an extent, but also boil down to a few similar motivations.

Tonight, we will discuss:

• Perfectionism and People Pleasing
• Why we feel compelled to do these things, and why we resent this behavior in ourselves
• Ways we can take personal control of these habits

We'll start off the evening with some topic-relevant Classic Rock played by Dr. Mathis, followed by Classic Rock trivia in "The Rock & Roll Shrink Recalls," followed by our topic discussion.

Please follow our bi-weekly, Wednesday evening shows, at 11 pm EST/EDT. We will have a new topic for you in two weeks!
