What Is (Clinical) Perfectionism?

In this video I am going to talk about Clinical Perfectionism, a real problem that leads to a lot of unnecessary distress and suffering. Perfectionism is when trying to do the best we can tips over into a desire to meet the highest standards in everything that we do. Clinical Perfectionism is when this desire become something we have to do if we are going to feel ok about ourselves. In this video I will ask you 7 questions to help you to determine if you are suffering from Clinical Perfectionism. Clinical Perfectionism is common in people with low self-esteem and low confidence and also depression. It is however very treatable. The most effective treatment currently available for Clinical Perfectionism is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In this instance, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by helping you to improve your self-esteem and confidence which gradually enables you to lower your standards to a more sustainable and healthy level without feeling as if you are going to fall behind your peers or be socially rejected. This is a very treatable problem, you do not need to suffer. If you have any questions then please post your comments below and I will do my best to help.
