17. Perfectionism and ImposTER syndrome
The Pilates industry attracts the kind of people who like to do things properly.
But when a healthy striving for excellence becomes a paralysing perfectionism, or when you feel like a fake despite looking successful on the outside, there's a problem.
We talk through our views, and some of the science on perfectionism, imposter syndrome and what can be done about them.
