About this Event
Key features of Perfectionism include:
- The relentless striving for extremely high standards (for oneself and/or others) that are personally demanding. Standards which might be considered unrealistic given the circumstances. These ‘unrelenting standards’ can be a source of significant stress for individuals.
- Judging one's self-worth based largely on one's ability to aim for and achieve such unrelenting standards.
- Experiencing negative consequences of setting such demanding standards, yet continuing to go for them despite the huge cost to oneself. (Fursland)
