High Achievers and Perfectionism with Trauma & Anxiety Therapist Elizabeth Bodett Dresser
<p><strong>Episode 18</strong>: In this revealing conversation, I sit down with specialized therapist Elizabeth Bodett Dresser to explore the complex relationship between perfectionism and vulnerability, especially among high achievers. We uncover how perfectionism often serves as both a shield and a prison - protecting us from judgment while simultaneously creating barriers to genuine connection.</p><p><br></p><p>Elizabeth shares profound insights into the childhood origins of perfectionist tendencies, their impact on our most important relationships, and practical strategies for embracing imperfection to foster deeper emotional connections. Discover why letting go of the perfect image might be your path to the authentic life you're seeking.</p><p><br></p><p>Elizabeth Bodett Dresser, LCPC understands the cycle of anxious overthinking and overfunctioning—and the deep work it takes to build quiet confidence and self-trust. As a licensed therapist, she uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) along with a relational and person-centered approach to help clients slow down and reconnect with themselves—not just as people who get things done, but as whole individuals with needs, emotions, and lives beyond their to-do lists. Her goal is to help clients feel more present, at ease, and in control—not just of their schedules, but also of their inner worlds.
