109 | Are Abandonment Issues, From Childhood Trauma, Sabotaging Your Romantic Relationships? Start Here

Are you constantly asking yourself, "Why am I so hard on myself?" or wondering "Why am I not good enough?" when you fail to hit your own impossible standards? If you are struggling with anxious perfectionism, feeling like you lack in key areas, or believing there is something deeply wrong with you, you are not alone. It can feel nearly impossible to figure out how to stop being so hard on yourself, or how to learn to forgive yourself, when silent, undocumented rules govern your life. Even when you understand the biblical definition of grace and the biblical definition of mercy in your head, receiving that grace from God and extending it to yourself can feel like an impossible hurdle. In this episode, we unpack where perfectionism comes from and why simply lowering your high standards isn't the full solution. You will learn how to break down the internal justice system and silent "shoulds" driving your negative self-talk, shifting away from harsh self-judgment toward true inner healing. We explore how judging yourself and judging others stems from the same strict internal laws, and how you can begin shifting your focus from an inner critic to an inner coach. Discover practical steps to question personality flaws, overcome the fear of failure, and trade rigid legalism for God’s perfect grace and compassion.
