The Overachiever: The Psychology of Traumatic Ambition? - Inner Work Library [30/500]

This video explores the Psychology of Overachievement and The Overachiever Personality: including their childhood trauma and how to heal the worthiness wounds which exist in the unconscious shadow of overachievement.

In this episode of Inner Work Library Q&A, we look at the psychological principles of overachievers, overachievement and high performance as we learn how to be more creative and productive without regressing into compulsive behaviours based on unresolved childhood trauma.

Ultimately, my intention with this episode is to provide you with timely support to help you on your individuation journey to honouring your ambition with a holistic sense of health, psychological strength and self integration.
