Perfectionism and Burnout

Whether you're in school, launching a career, or years into your profession, the pressure to succeed can feel draining.

You're constantly striving for the next milestone, without even stopping to feel pride of what you previously achieved. You may look like you're holding it all together, but inside you can feel exhausted and anxious.

Perfectionism can make it feel like you're never doing enough. You might avoid tasks out of fear they won’t be done perfectly, struggle to relax, or feel guilty for taking breaks.

In therapy, we can challenge perfectionistic beliefs, learn to rest without guilt, set healthier boundaries, and redefine what success means for you.

You deserve to feel proud of your efforts, not punished by them.
