Description
The Anxious Perfectionist offers a much-needed perspective on the hidden costs of striving for perfection. Written by two clinical psychologists, this guide shines a light on the anxiety and stress that can result from perfectionism, and provides essential skills to help you cope.
By exploring the distinction between "helpful" and "hurtful" perfectionism, you'll learn how to stop holding yourself and others to unrealistically high standards and develop skills to manage anxiety and stress. You'll discover how to reframe negative self-talk, let go of self-limiting labels, and give yourself permission to make mistakes while still pursuing your aspirations.
If you're struggling with feelings of anxiety and stress, and suspect perfectionism may be to blame, this guide will show you how to break free from the constraints of perfectionism and live a life guided by your deepest values.
