Therapy for Perfectionists, Anxiety & Burnout
In-person in Brentwood, TN & online across TN & FL
Perfectionism can feel like a badge of honor,
driving you to achieve and excel.
But underneath the surface, it often leads to
anxiety, stress, and eventual burnout.
When you constantly set impossibly high standards for yourself, every mistake feels like a failure, and every success is never quite enough. This relentless pursuit of perfection can create a cycle of self-criticism and anxiety. You push yourself harder and harder to meet unattainable goals.
The Cost of Perfectionism:
Increased Anxiety: The fear of not measuring up can leave you feeling anxious, worried about making mistakes or not being good enough.
Chronic Stress: The pressure to always perform perfectly can lead to chronic stress, impacting your physical and mental health.
Burnout: Over time, the constant strain can result in burnout, leaving you feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and emotionally drained.
Damaged Relationships: Perfectionism can strain your relationships, as you may expect the same unrealistic standards from others, leading to conflict and frustration.
Anxiety, perfectionism & burnout can hold you back from truly living your life.
But there is hope.
We will work together to identify what internally pushes you to strive for perfection. Instead of trying to push the anxiety and perfection under the rug, we will turn toward them and try to understand where they originated.
As your perfectionist parts relax, your anxiety will lower and you will enjoy more peace and calm in your life.
Let’s get started on your path toward balance & moderation.
“I know it’s hard to believe, but even your anxiety is trying to help you in some way.”
-Cristine Steele, LMFT
