Perfectionism: A Trauma Response
Trauma Rewired
11/22/22 • 51 min
Our society rewards those who work hard, appear to never make mistakes, and seem to have everything under control. We’ve collectively decided on what perfect looks like and attributed perfectionism with the ideal person. What if we told you that perfectionism is actually a protective measure used to prevent oneself from feelings of rejection, abandonment, and worthlessness? These words don’t quite scream “perfect” do they?
Trauma Rewired hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth have touched upon this trauma response before, but today’s episode is a deep dive into how it can develop and lead to harmful avoidance behaviors. They deconstruct perfectionism, including defining the three types of perfectionism and how it interplays with CPTSD elements like the inner critic.
You’ll learn the many health consequences that the chronic stress of perfectionism can cause, and how to distinguish excellence from perfectionism. Jennifer and Elisabeth also share their experience with perfectionism, and how it can push us into burnout or freeze states.
Perfectionism is not an attainable goal, which makes it debilitating and a hindrance to healing trauma. To take the first step towards moving out of perfectionism, tune in!
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Defining the 3 types of perfectionism
- Perfectionism as a trauma response
- Jennifer’s example of setting yourself up for failure
- The effects of perfectionism on our health
- Maladaptive coping mechanisms for perfectionism
- How to recognize perfectionist behaviors and thinking
- Jennifer on taking action against her perfectionism
- Trauma healing, neurosomatic intelligence, and integration
- Limiting beliefs push the loop of perfectionism
- Elisabeth on the importance on self-regulation tools in her life
- How perfectionism negatively affects organizations and employees
- Steps Elisabeth has taken to heal her perfectionism and workaholism

Everyone has their own challenges, but when I was 16, mine stopped me in my tracks! I had seizures, fatigue, organ damage and paralysis. I could not move from the neck down. A virus had gotten into my spinal cord and I became quadriplegic. Unwilling to accept my seat on the sidelines, I wanted to participate in life more and spent two decades learning and healing.
My experiences changed the course of my life as I found a passion for helping others find hope and healing. I started my road as an alternative health care practitioner in 2002, started my own clinical practice in 2009 and today I love working with people's health challenges and helping them find their way to wellness. Now I want to give that experience of feeling better, help you to participate in life more and reclaim your health!

Truth Be Told VIP In Person or Virtual Story Gathering - Wednesday, Dec.8th Get My Ticket HereAbout Julie Smith
Julie Smith is the President and GA director for The SAM Foundation operating virtually, as well as in person in GA and AL. She along with her sister, Nicole Goggans, founded the organization in 2017 with the mission to prevent suicide through public awareness and education, in honor and memory of their brother Sam Johnson; because Suicide...Awareness... Means... Hope. The SAM Foundation has trained over 5000 individuals that include mental health professionals, teachers, students, school counselors, nurses, first responders and concerned community members in vital suicide prevention programs. The rapid growth of The SAM Foundation has been the result of the extreme need to combat suicide in our communities, which is a continual heartbreak.
Julie is committed to breaking the stigma of issues within mental health and becoming a resource for those affected by suicide. Julie knows the effects of extreme trauma first hand and is truly committed to learn how dealing with trauma may prevent other mental health issues and crises and will spread this awareness to others within her work in hopes of changing the stats of suicide in our nation and worldwide. Suicide has become a silent epidemic in which so many are unaware. Together with education, study, and awareness, change is possible, therefore hope is restored...
