“Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.” Anne Wilson Schaef
What do you do when your life looks perfect on the outside, but inside you’re miserable and even depressed?
It’s an issue that impacts millions of women at midlife. In fact, midlife women have the highest rate of depression for any group based on age and gender. According to the CDC about 1 in 8 women between 40 and 59 have depression.
Perimenopause plus stressors at midlife such as a health crisis, divorce, empty nest, elderly parents, and striving for work-life balance create a perfect storm which can trigger depression.
Rather than then dealing with our painful emotions or asking for help many women survive by creating and hiding behind a perfect-looking life. This strategy leaves you feeling trapped and alone rather than free and connected.
Today’s show will help you stop hiding and starting healing. You’ll discover:
• How trauma can create a survival strategy that results in a perfect-looking life.
• The core traits of the syndrome of perfectly hidden, trauma-based depression.
• How classic depression differs from perfectly hidden depression
• The five stages of healing that can lead to greater self-acceptance and self-compassion.
• How to love your perfectly imperfect self
• How to know your Spiritual Divinity
• How to find and follow your second calling
