WORKSHOP PROPOSAL
FOR PRESENTERS FORM

THE GOLDILOCKS DILEMMA:
Seeking What's Just Right

The Goldilocks Dilemma occurs in some form throughout our lives in our personal relationships, our work, and in our pursuit of material things. How much do we continue to seek that which is “just right” when we are not satisfied? How do we know when to accept imperfection, or less than the ideal?  Is there a “just right” in every situation? Is compromise always required? When is “good enough” really good enough; when is it selling yourself short?

The topic invites us to consider by what  inner experience or measuring stick we assess “just right.” Can we accept and delight in knowing EVERYTHING is less than perfect? How far will we go to pursue our dreams, goals, and desires?  How do we deal with disappointment and compromise? It is easy to develop judgments about others or yourself when you make a decision or choice that later becomes a disappointment.

This process of choosing how to live, seeking perfection on one extreme and settling for much less than is possible on the other, can manifest in so many life situations our patients encounter. As therapists, it is wise to become aware of our personal thoughts and feelings about the Goldilocks Dilemma so that we do not subltely influence our patients’ decisions out of our own biases.
