One of the things we talked about is perfectionism or as Melissa puts it, ‘always wanting to get things right’.
In her case she wanted to look like she had it together, to try and look like that ‘I knew more than I knew’.
Always trying to get things right is one way of proving to ourselves that we are enough and/or that we are worthy.
This is born from a misunderstanding that says, to be loved we have to be perfect or we have to keep doing stuff to prove to ourselves that we are worthy of love.
Love is what we are made of, you don’t have to work hard to get it because you are LOVE.
You cannot be separate from it, even though you do not always feel it.
Usually, I like to hear stories about how my guests struggled in an area of their lives but then discovered the freedom of giving themselves permission.
However, in this conversation, we went in the opposite direction.
Melissa talked about how she gave herself permission to experiment with a different way of responding to her husband.
