Perfectionism
Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Perfectionism can show up as feeling never quite good enough, fear of making mistakes, difficulty resting, overthinking decisions, or carrying pressure to be constantly improving, performing, or meeting very high expectations. You may feel exhausted by trying to get everything right, struggling with self-criticism, or feeling anxious when things are out of control. I work somatically, trauma-informed, with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field, to help release the deeper roots of perfectionistic patterns. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports you in deeper understanding of your patterns, feeling safer in your body, more connected to your Self, and more.

Perfectionism
Monarch Psychology
Psychologist, R Psych, RSW
Free matching calls available to help match you with the best therapist for your unique needs. While having high expectations and wanting to make others happy are generally seen as positive traits, there is a point at which these habits can become destructive. The key factor that determines when these behaviours become harmful is self-esteem. People pleasing and perfectionism are often efforts to prove your worth, driven by a fear that you’re not good enough and that others will reject or abandon you.
This fear can trap you in a cycle of constantly trying to please and be perfect, but no matter what you do, it never feels like enough. Perfection is impossible, and pleasing everyone is equally unattainable, leaving you feeling stuck and resentful when your efforts do not work. Many of these behaviours are rooted in early socialization or challenges within caregiving relationships, including emotional and narcissistic abuse.
Counselling can help you uncover the factors contributing to these behaviours and address them so you can live with more freedom and self-acceptance. By exploring and understanding the underlying issues, you can break free from this cycle and find a healthier, more balanced approach to life.

Perfectionism
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards; it is often a protective part of the system trying to prevent criticism, rejection, or a sense of failure. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you understand the 'internal critic' that keeps you in a cycle of relentless striving and exhaustion.
We move beyond 'letting go' to exploring the early survival strategies that made being perfect feel like a necessity. By healing the underlying vulnerabilities that this part is trying to shield, we work to replace the weight of perfectionism with a grounded sense of self-worth and the freedom to be authentically yourself—without the constant pressure of 'never being enough.
