White Supremacism, Perfectionism, and Self-Compassion
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill discusses perfectionism as a characteristic of white supremacy culture and some of the ways it can manifest in ourselves and in our society, particularly in healthcare. She talks about Self-Compassion as the antidote to perfectionism, and she shares several ways to practice self-compassion and resources to learn more about it.
