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
Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Claudia Blackwell talks about how perfectionism is born out of shame. It's a quote that has stuck with me for years. Perfectionism causes us to feel like we are never good enough, directly attacking our self-worth. Supportive therapy can help us identify the attacks of perfectionism, learn the language of our inner critic, and forge a path forward with self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Perfectionism
Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
Working with perfectionism isn’t about lowering the bar—it’s about changing your relationship with it.
We start by identifying the fear underneath it (usually failure, judgment, or not being enough). Then we look at the patterns it creates—overthinking, procrastination, avoidance—and how they’re actually keeping you stuck.

Perfectionism
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.
