Healing is not about eradicating the parts of ourselves we most loathe, nor is healing won through achievement sprees. Healing is realizing that you are already whole (perfect) right now, as you are. In this moment, you are worthy of as much love, joy, freedom, dignity, and connection as any human being could ever deserve. If you could fully accept the immutability of your worth, that would be all the healing you’d ever need. This is very upsetting news for perfectionists. Perfectionists love a project.
