What Is Perfectionism?

What Is Perfectionism?

Perfectionism is more than just striving for excellence. It’s an intense fear of failure and the belief that nothing you do is ever good enough. Common signs of perfectionism include:

  • Setting unrealistically high goals

  • Fear of making mistakes

  • Procrastination due to fear of failure

  • Difficulty accepting praise or compliments

  • Constant self-criticism

  • Overworking or burnout

If these patterns sound familiar, perfectionism therapy can help you change your mindset and develop healthier, more achievable goals.
