I thought it would be good to do a blog about what my clients have taught me this week, by being with them, and being inspired by their stories and progress. This week I wanted to talk about a client I will call Samantha. We have had four sessions now, and she came to me saying she felt burnt out, stressed and worried, with a strong perfectionist streak. Being in a high-powered job, she felt that 'being good enough' was never an option. Instead, she pursued unattainable perfection, to the point of exhaustion. This week, she was telling me how she has begun to be able to let go of the perfectionist persona, and realise in her inner self, that being good enough is actually a healthy human state to be in. It made me reflect again on my own life and to see where I might be too driven to succeed.
