There are numerous ways to transition from maladaptive to adaptive perfectionism, including physical approaches -- from relaxation strategies to psychological strategies.

oh my god , this needed much louder applause .
Thank you so much for doing this talk. It is very inspirational and I am so glad that I have came across this video.
Prayer was a life changer for me.
this was such a good talk. i am so glad that i got to hear this!
Wooooooow! What a wonderful presentation!! You are such a grounded speaker. You are an intellectual, but you speak street and love. Thank you!
Great!
The last minute of this video hit me so hard. As the tears fell down my cheek, I realized that all those personal comments that were read off.... those are all things that make us beautiful, they make us good people & friends, they make us all - uniquely perfect! But the best thing about that list... those were all REAL attributes.
What a wonderful talk.
The mental process of a perfectionist drives the character of the person.
A perfectionist's brain works in context of multitude of things and reasoning in one go. Think of it like a brain full of compartments being accessed by random memory using the fastest processor...giving the person a 10-step ahead kind of vantage point and trying to explain this to Windkws 95 users who just cannot understand because these users do not have the context. This has always been the gap and so a perfectionist must lesrn how to communicate differently to fix the problems of understanding. A perfectionist who cannot communicate will always be misunderstood leading to depression and deeper depression.
I burst into laughter at 13:24. At first I thought she's joking, then I realized she's serious about it. As a perfectionist, I would admit it does help, though it doesn't sound quite socially appropraite to speak it out loud. Anyone wanna share his/her thoughts here?
Personally, I think in a sense it would be better to not compare at all. As humans, we naturally point out something we don’t have or don’t do as well when comparing to others.
it was a funny and informative video thanks!!
This good video
Interesting
Comatose audience. Or possibly deaf.
It’s disheartening to list to this and relish the speech but then hear absolutely terrible dietary advice that puts an asterisk next to the presentation.
Couldn't watch it. Less than two minutes in, and I was subjected to two long ads. Not worth it!
quit three minutes in, too focused on one gender like that was all that mattered.
