About this episode
Send us a textIn this episode, David and Eileen discuss the pressures caused by the perfectionist mindset of recovery to "get it exactly right" or "be the hero" that ultimately works against recovery by not actively practicing vulnerability. In its place, they talk about what a progress mindset can achieve in opening up to our partner, being honest with ourselves, and showing our weaknesses in strength through communication. In the second half of the episode, David and Eileen also share a recent example from their lives where conflict prompted them to reassess the progress they needed to make, rather than falling into feelings of failure and perfection.
