Perfectionism
Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
Perfectionism can feel like constant pressure: to get it right, to not make mistakes, to meet expectations that may not even feel like your own. In our work together, we bring curiosity about your unique lived experience to exploring how perfectionism shows up in your thoughts, body, and relationships. We might gently ask: Who are you being perfect for? By whose standards? What do you imagine might happen if you made a mistake? How were mistakes handled in your home growing up? Rather than treating perfectionism as a personal flaw, we can understand it as a relational, contextual response to a situation/dynamic, a way of organizing/modifying yourself that developed in response to your environment. The existential statement underneath perfectionism could be, “In order to belong in this family, I must never mess up” or “I live my life as if I’ll be invisible/alone/worthless unless I am perfect.” Put in these contexts, perfectionistic strategies are a matter of life and death and basic survival. By slowing down and building awareness around how you got here, we can begin to tease apart these patterns, reconnect with what *you* need and value, and find more flexible, compassionate ways of being with yourself. It’s always a risk being more yourself, and I have huge respect for the ways you’ve learned to keep yourself safe and connected (basic human needs, btw). As we unravel your perfectionistic magnificence, you will likely surprise yourself with the brilliance and creativity that’s been hiding there all along, waiting for the right support to emerge.

Perfectionism often creates constant pressure, self criticism, and fear of failure. Therapy focuses on understanding the beliefs behind perfectionistic thinking and helping clients develop a healthier relationship with achievement, effort, and self worth.

Perfectionism
Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
Perfectionism in my clients is rarely about high standards — it's often a survival strategy formed alongside ADHD, neurodivergence, rejection sensitivity, and early caretaking roles. We work to understand what your perfectionism has been protecting you from, rather than just trying to dial it down. Using IFS, EFT, and mindfulness, sessions help you loosen the grip of 'never enough' and build a steadier sense of self that doesn't depend on performance.
