E23 - How does ADHD relate to my perfectionism?

Glitchy Switch: What ADHD feels like to an adult.

In this episode we tackle something many ADHD people struggle with which is that hiding-to-nothing, perfectionism. I wondered my whole life where my perfectionism came from and it was until I received my diagnosis that I started to understand a bit more.

I mention Stephen Guise's book How to Be an Imperfectionist -- you can find it on Amazon.

In this episode:

• The ways that perfectionism manifests itself.
• The role that rejection sensitive dysphoria plays in perfectionism.
• How emotional dysregulation triggers the perfectionist.
• Why perfectionism is an inevitable consequence of masking.
• What it feels like to become a "recovering perfectionist."
