Perfectionism: what seems a strength can actually have devastating consequences on one’s quality of life. As a recovering perfectionist, I lived many shame-filled years of not meeting the marks I set for myself in relationships, school, work, my appearance, and the environment around me. I thought if I just tried harder, was a little more perfect, then I would be good enough. Then I would be happy. My perfectionism was compounded by anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder.

As a clinician, I have seen how perfection impacts many wonderful individuals who have so much going for them. Often, perfectionism and anxiety go hand in hand. As a recovered perfectionist, I enjoy giving clients hope that they do not have to continue to live under the prison walls they feel trapped in. The first step is understanding if you are a perfectionist, and if so, how does it manifest in your life? We will also learn how perfectionism is impacting your quality of life. We cannot change what we do not acknowledge.
