Perfectionism seems to be a paradox: something clearly unpleasant to experience, yet, somehow, suggestive of a 'virtue'. This video clarifies exactly what's going on beneath the surface of the ego - in the deeper-structure psyche - in perfectionism. It also contains and extended Q&A on other related Jungian topics.
Today’s show hosted by Steve and Pauline Richards, & James P Dowling
Jung To Live By, presented by the Institute for Psycho-Systems Analysis™, is creating videos and podcasts on Jungian Depth Psychology for personal development and study.
