Perfectionism
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Perfectionism has its origins in such beliefs as someone feeling deep down, even without realizing it, that they are not good enough, and they need to be perfect to make up for it. Or, because their circumstances and life are imperfect, they want to create control where they can. They often feel unhappy and critical with themselves, and 'burnt out' from the effort involved in trying to achieve perfection, which could accurately be called 'a race with no finish line'. It can be formed from childhood experiences where they felt out of control, or unsafe, etc., which likely developed an unconscious belief while they were young. Rapid Transformational Therapy is very helpful to address the core reason for the need for perfection, then to interrupt it and release it, and replace it with empowering, positive suggestions directly to the subconscious mind, creating lasting change. The personalized recording would focus on ideas of self-acceptance and visualization of not needing perfectionism, etc.

Perfectionism
Barbara Clark
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, MS, LPCC, Brainspotting Certified
Perfectionism often leads to pressure, burnout, and feeling like nothing is ever enough. I help clients understand the underlying patterns driving perfectionism while building more flexible and realistic expectations. Therapy focuses on reducing self-criticism and creating space for growth without constant pressure.

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
Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
I have spent an extensive amount of time researching, writing and working with patients with perfectionism. I am aware and address the many challenges perfectionists face when entering therapy. In general, perfectionists may be prone to terminating therapy prematurely. For example, a self-oriented perfectionist may interpret seeking help as though they are flawed and end the relationships quickly. Socially oriented perfectionists may want to please their therapist and thus not reveal thoughts and feelings and feel dissatisfied with the therapy process. By discussing the therapy relationship and monitoring thoughts and feelings throughout the process premature termination can be avoided. Through the therapy relationship perfectionists may also develop and internalize new coping skills to manage expectations. For example, new relationship experiences that occur in the therapy relationship (ex: expressing needs or being vulnerable) may generalize to other social settings. Other oriented perfectionists who can learn to accept the imperfections of their therapist can learn to possibly be more tolerant of others.
I also work with perfectionist patients on learning to manage anxiety regarding expectations and teach self-acceptance and compassion skills using mindfulness and Buddhist influenced interventions. I also help perfectionists identify and manage maladaptive cognitions and patterns that lead to distress. I help perfectionists develop more balanced thinking. I help teach self-oriented perfectionists how to set boundaries and say “no” to others. Many perfectionists, particularly self-oriented perfectionists are reluctant to let go of expectations fearing this will impair performance. Managing perfectionism however, does not necessarily mean desiring less, but changing one’s relationship and response to when expectations are not met.

Be The Change Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Perfectionism can create intense pressure, self-criticism, fear of failure, anxiety, and difficulty feeling “good enough.” Individuals may struggle with burnout, avoidance, overthinking, or unrealistic expectations for themselves. Therapy can help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build self-compassion, and develop healthier ways of approaching goals and expectations.
