Perfectionism
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.

Perfectionism
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Perfectionism is rarely about excellence alone. It often develops when achievement, control, or being beyond criticism becomes tied to safety, worth, belonging, or protection from shame. What may appear as discipline can quietly produce procrastination, overworking, indecision, self-criticism, and an inability to feel satisfied even after success. Therapy explores what imperfection has come to mean, separates healthy ambition from fear-driven performance, and builds the capacity to take risks, make mistakes, and remain worthy without continually proving it.

Perfectionism
Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perfectionism is not effective because it shifts attention from progress to flaw-fixing. Instead of helping people do better, it often causes delay, stress, and self-doubt, which make work and life harder rather than more successful.

Perfectionism
Dan Safavi
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-22108
Perfectionism can look like high standards, overthinking, procrastination, fear of mistakes, or never feeling satisfied with what you accomplish. I help clients loosen rigid expectations, become more comfortable with imperfection and uncertainty, and pursue excellence without being controlled by constant self-pressure.

Perfectionism
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Perfectionism often develops as a way to manage anxiety, self-worth, and fear of failure. While it can lead to high achievement, it can also create pressure, rigidity, and dissatisfaction. I help individuals understand the underlying drivers of perfectionism and develop more flexible, balanced ways of approaching themselves and their work.
