Tackling Perfectionism

Perfectionism here means judging your worth by whether you met a standard you set, and raising the standard whenever you meet it — so the effort never converts into feeling like it was enough.

How it works

The tool starts with one rule you hold yourself to, states it plainly, and then looks at what it actually costs and what it actually buys. You will be asked to test a slightly lower bar in one low-stakes place and see what happens. Perfectionism rarely responds to being argued with; it responds to evidence that the floor does not fall away.

Grounded in

the perfectionism model of Shafran, Egan and Wade, 2010.
