Back to You

Back to You explores a new path to make peace with perfectionism and self-demands and in so doing cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself and others

Letting your inner critic take control isn’t a personality trait; rather, it’s a form of self-protection that stems from childhood wounds: being hard on yourself means others can’t hurt you. If this resonates with you, it’s time to stop the self-punishment. There’s a healthier way to deal with your self-demands and perfectionism, and we’ll explore it together in this book. This book is a guide for anyone who has felt fundamentally flawed for too long. We’ll uncover the roots of our self-demanding self-criticism, see how childhood experiences shape our thoughts, and examine how hiding behind perfectionism and criticism impacts our self-esteem and relationships with our loved ones.
