30. Unlearning Perfectionism with Therapist Atim Bassey 📝: IFS parts work and how to heal
Saturday, 27 December, 2025

In this episode, I chat with Atim Bassey, LCSW-C, an amazing therapist and my real life cousin, all about perfectionism (something i've been living with my whole life!). We talk about why we fall into perfectionist thinking, how somatic therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) work can help us heal, some of my personal experiences and challenges with perfectionism, how mindfulness and meditation has helped me, the importance of working with a therapist, intellectualization, processing our feelings, and so much more! If it was up to me, this could have easily been a 3 hour episode. It's is a juicy one, y'all!If you resonate with the perfectionism struggles of self-critical thoughts and holding yourself to unnecessary high standards, then I hope this episode gives you as much relief as it gave me and helps you see a path forward. Sending so much love! ❤️We mention:No Bad Parts by Richard C. SchwartzAtim's last podcast episode: Ep 22.
