In episode 561 I chat with Dr Patricia Zurita Ona. Patricia is director of the East Bay Behavior Therapy Center and adjunct professor at the Wright Institute. She is the author of many acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) based books, including ones on OCD.
We discuss her new book, perfectionism and procrastination, what is perfectionism, the values that are in perfectionism but how it goes too far sometimes, perfectionism and OCD, what playing it safe looks like in perfectionism, the function of perfectionism, procrastination around OCD therapy homework, compassionate accountability around procrastination, self-compassion, self-acceptance, and much more. Hope it helps.
