Perfectionism Therapy Near Me
Are You...
Constantly thinking, “I could’ve done that better”? Even after you’ve poured hours into something, you still wonder if it’s really good enough.
Running through your mental checklist… even at 3 a.m.?
Feeling guilty if you’re not “productive” 24/7? Taking a break feels impossible. The second you sit down to relax, there’s that little voice saying, “Shouldn’t you be doing something more important right now?”
Avoiding new projects because… what if they’re not perfect? You’ve got big ideas, goals, and dreams, but the fear of not nailing it perfectly makes starting feel terrifying. So, sometimes you don’t even start—because isn’t it better to wait until you’re really ready?
You know that feeling: the relentless pressure to be the best. It’s not just about doing well; it’s about doing perfectly, every single time. Your to-do list isn’t just long—it’s more like a running commentary on everything you should be doing, faster, better, and with no mistakes. You might lie awake at night worrying about work projects, replaying conversations, and stressing about “missed” opportunities to be even better. It’s exhausting.
It’s not just an annoying habit; it’s a constant, underlying pressure that drains your energy and leaves you feeling like you’re never enough. And in today’s world of “hustle culture,” the demands of perfectionism hit millennials especially hard. Social media, comparison, career goals, personal goals, relationship goals… all these pressures add up, making it feel impossible to let go, relax, or feel good enough.
