Download I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn’t): Telling the Truth about Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power AudioBook Free

The search for efficiency is exhausting and unrelenting. We spend too much precious hard work managing perception and creating carefully edited variations of ourselves to show to the world. As hard even as we try, we can not seem to carefully turn off the tapes that fill up our minds with messages like, Never good enough! and What will people think? Why? What fuels this unattainable need to look like we will have it all jointly? Initially, we may think its because we admire efficiency, but that's not the case. We have been actually the most drawn to people we consider to be traditional and down-to-earth. We love individuals who are real; we're drawn to those who both adopt their imperfections and radiate self-acceptance. There is a continuous barrage of sociable expectations that train us that being imperfect is synonymous with being insufficient. Everywhere we flip, there are messages that reveal who, what, and how were said to be. So, we learn to hide our struggles and protect ourselves from shame, wisdom, criticism, and blame by seeking protection in pretending and efficiency. Predicated on seven years of ground-breaking research and a huge selection of interviews, I Thought IT HAD BEEN Just Me shines a long-overdue light with an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to the other person also to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are simply powerful reminders to keep our hearts and imagination open to the reality that we are all in this jointly. As Dr. Dark brown writes, "We need our lives back. It is time to reclaim the gift items of imperfection - the courage to be real, the compassion we need to love ourselves as well as others, and the connection that gives true purpose and meaning alive. These are the gift items that bring love, laughter, appreciation, empathy and delight into our lives."
