(February 08, 2025) Carol Round reflects…
Listening to a local Christian radio station recently, I heard a commentator say: ‘You’re under zero pressure to be perfect.’ I’d missed the opening introduction to her statement but this sentence struck a chord with me.
I’m a recovering perfectionist raised by a mother who expected my sister and me to be perfect. It wasn’t so much our behaviour as she expected us to do everything perfectly. She set high standards for us at home and in our schoolwork.
