Hey y'all,
Perfectionism calls to us like a drug. It tantalizes us with
fantasies of satisfaction and achievement. It celebrates our
futile attempts at attaining the impossible. It threatens us with
shame and unworthiness. And it demands our obedience...or else.
The real function of perfectionism is to maintain control and
power. It dictates what we get to avoid, what we get to feel,
what we get to believe. It allows us to comply and uphold the
limiting stories and lies that we tell ourselves about ourselves.
And it operates like an addiction.
Nikki Myers ( [link removed]- ), yoga therapist and
addictions recovery specialist, says that “addiction is the
disease of the lost self” and that anything used to escape a
perceived intolerable reality (like failure) is something that
could possibly turn into an addiction. Addiction is a constant
and pervasive reminder that something is demanding our attention
and until we address it, we will remain stuck in suffering. But
the suffering becomes familiar, even preferable to its
alternative...until we end up engaging in our own oppression and
the oppression of others — giving in to a paradigm that says we
are not enough and then profits from our not-enoughness.

On September 25, we are confronting this addiction and
calling back our power inside of The Perfectionist Anonymous
Bootcamp ( [link removed] ). Through embodied
practice, courageous conversation and applied action, we will
explore perfectionism as addiction, divesting from control and
the price of perfectionism. Here’s what you can expect:
* Five virtual community coaching calls to support our inquiry
and recovery. Calls are scheduled Monday - Thursday at 3pm ET /
12pm PT with one follow up call two weeks later!
* Daily recovery toolkit to arrive in your inbox each morning.
Recovery toolkit includes daily journaling prompts,
transformational tools and resources and inspirational quotes.
* Embodied practice. A recorded practice led by Kerri to help
you regulate yourself and remember who you are beyond
perfectionism and other toxic patterns of control.
