5 Core Skills of Mindful Eating
About Helping a Perfectionist workshop:
Perfectionism is pandemic in the West, yet little is written or taught on how we can help the perfectionist client. Join author, trainer, and clinical psychologist Pavel Somov, Ph.D., for a clinical overview of perfectionism, its existential costs and its associated clinical features. Dr. Somov will share with you experiential strategies for addressing the core dimensions of perfectionism as negative conditional self-view, performance anxiety, and intolerance of uncertainty.
This 90-minute teleseminar recording is based on an innovative clinical curriculum for overcoming perfectionism, predicated on Buddhist psychology and mindfulness/acceptance practices.
