Pt.Well you asked me to give my explanation of what perfection was, and also consider the environment at the same time, and I had a Mother who was a perfectionist therefore it was natural for me to follow suit, but I am not a perfectionist in all things, it's just some things, and where friends are concerned or caring for people or having them in my home to look after them, that's when I tend to perhaps try and out-do myself,. shall we say, but I don't expect other people to be perfectionists, so I think it's something I’ve grown up with & something that as I get older, I'm learning to relax more, but other than that. I have no comment.

By.Yes, one of my barriers was fear and you mentioned that myself was a barrier and I analysed this and noticed that when I had this fear that I could actually do something about it, and I found that quite good, and about perfection, I had always strived for perfection, and then, when I didn’t get perfection, I would discard it, perhaps give up, and I've only just realised that, but that perhaps striving for something, if I was a bit more casual about some things I could actually cope better.
