The executioner is under my skin

The Executioner Under My Skin: Reflections on Recovering from Perfectionism and Self-Flagellation by Dr. Emad Rashad Othman

How much we need a respite from our panting minds crowded with noise; a rest from the clamor of our disruptive inner voices, caught between ideal standards we cannot meet, voices of guilt and shortcomings that do not have mercy on our limitations, a rush to catch up with a mysterious procession that has preceded us, unfair self-comparisons that make us feel the weight of being behind, a continuous rumination on a past we cannot change, and daydreams that sometimes separate us from the reality of work!
It is a journey inward in which we confront those shackled voices that paralyze us, so that we may be freed from them... So come with us.
