Dissociation

The one in which we talk about the unrealistic goals of perfectionism and the struggles created by the impossible visions of being perfect.

The one in which we discuss Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder to understand the difference between true OCD, which is painful and life limiting, versus the usual obsessions or compulsions we all sometimes have.

The one in which we talk about the defense mechanism of Denial - how it serves us and how it doesn't.
