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 can look like high standards on the outside but feel like constant pressure on the inside. You may struggle to make decisions, put off tasks until you feel ready, or find it difficult to feel satisfied with your accomplishments. Therapy can help you loosen rigid expectations, take action without needing everything to be perfect, and pursue your goals in ways that leave more room for flexibility, enjoyment, and self-compassion.

Brittany Speed, Hudson Valley Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Being driven, conscientious, and holding yourself to high standards can be strengths, but when perfectionism takes over, it can come at a cost to your emotional well-being and your functioning. You may find yourself struggling with avoidance of important tasks, harsh self-criticism, fear of making mistakes, difficulty relaxing, or a persistent feeling that no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never quite enough. Over time, perfectionism can contribute to anxiety, burnout, and difficulty finding satisfaction in your achievements. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you recognize and challenge unhelpful patterns, develop a more flexible relationship with expectations, and build self-compassion. Together, we’ll work toward maintaining the ambition and conscientiousness you value while letting go of the rigid standards that keep you feeling stressed, stuck, or never quite good enough.
