Overcoming Perfectionism: A self-help guide using cognitive behavioral techniques

Paperback
Learn how to break the circle of 'never good enough'.
Striving for something can be a healthy and positive attribute; it's good to aim high. But sometimes whatever we do just isn't good enough; we want to be too perfect and start setting unrealistic goals. Such high levels of perfectionism, often driven by low self-esteem, can turn against success and develop into unhealthy obsession, triggering serious mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders. CBT, on which this self-help book is based, has been found to be a highly effective treatment and provides relief from that disabling sense of not being good enough.
- Describes how clinical perfectionism manifests itself
- Suggests effective coping strategies with invaluable guidance on how to avoid future relapse
Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. Many guides in the Overcoming series are recommended by the UK Department of Health under the Books on Prescription scheme.
