Sandy Kong, Marriage and Family Therapist in Sacramento, CA
Perfectionism

Sandy Kong

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Therapy for perfectionism focuses on reducing rigid, unrealistic standards, and alleviating associated anxiety, depression, or burnout. Perfectionism is seen as a trauma response. Trauma has shaped someone's life into believing that they have to be "perfect" in order to be "loveable" or "worthy". The most effective approach is generally learning how to identify and challenge distorted beliefs; changing your relationship with perfectionistic thoughts and focusing on values over flawlessness; exploring early life experiences and deep-rooted causes behind the need for control; develop mindfulness-based approaches to help manage anxiety by staying present, reducing the need for constant, perfect self-presentation; and cultivating kindness toward oneself, especially when facing imperfections or failures.

Sam Naimi, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Encino, CA
Perfectionism

Sam Naimi

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
What begins as wanting to do well can become a relentless way of measuring your worth, leaving little room to enjoy success or forgive mistakes. Therapy gives us a place to understand where those demands came from and why easing up can feel so threatening. As that pressure becomes more understandable, you can begin to pursue your ambitions with more satisfaction and less fear of what falling short would mean about you.

Anna Schick, Marriage and Family Therapist in Beverly Hills, CA
Perfectionism

Anna Schick

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Setting high standards for yourself, feeling like nothing you do is ever quite good enough, or constantly worrying about making mistakes can be exhausting. You may find yourself overthinking decisions, being overly critical of yourself, or struggling to relax without feeling guilty. Even when you're successful, it can be difficult to feel satisfied or recognize your accomplishments. Therapy offers a space to explore where these expectations come from, how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and why it can feel so difficult to let go of control. Together, we can work toward developing greater self-acceptance, easing the pressure you place on yourself, and finding a healthier balance between striving for success and feeling good about who you are.
