あらすじ・解説
Does your brain have a very all-or-nothing way of looking at yourself and your relationships?
You either did it perfectly or you're terrible.
You're a good friend or a bad friend.
Your partner either says the exact right thing or they must not care about you at all.
If so - you're not alone!
Our brains are actually predisposed to be very black & white in the way they think - preferring things to fit neatly into set categories - leaving very little room for nuance or shades of grey.
In today's episode I'm covering:
- A recent example of my own perfectionist brain
- How black & white thinking impacts our relationship with ourselves
- How it impacts our relationships with others
- How it can mess with our expectations and overall enjoyment of a relationship
- And some easy thought work hacks to take your brain to a more nuanced place!
