Therapy for Perfectionism

Does every step of your day involve excessive worries about things not going right?

Do you find yourself constantly worried that something is going to go wrong?

Are you always trying to make things better only to find yourself disappointed again?

Do you have a hard time committing to things?

Do you have a difficult time making decisions?

If yes, you might be experiencing clinical perfectionism.

Work with me to overcome your perfectionistic tendencies.

The following are some other examples of perfectionistic tendencies:

Procrastination – chronic delay of actions that need to get done

Indecisiveness (Aboulomania) – difficulty with making everyday decisions

Hoarding – difficulty discarding items that are no longer needed

Miserliness – difficulty spending money due to fear of needing it someday for some possible catastrophe

Fear of Commitment – difficulty making decisions in situations that have high stakes such as marriage, buying a house, choosing a school, or accepting a job offer

High Standards – setting very high standards for oneself and others which are chronically unmet and thus left with constant feelings of failure and disappointment in oneself and others

Fear of Failure – a deep fear of messing up and a chronic need to avoid any situation that can possibly lead to failure

Orthorexia – obsessively thinking about and planning healthy eating

Difficulty with Delegating Tasks – the tendency to not allow other to do work for oneself, as well as the tendency to micromanage others such as co-workers or family members

Rigidity – difficulty with change and chronic inflexibility regarding many areas of one’s life
