CBT for Perfectionism: How It Works and What the Evidence Shows

Specialist CBT therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression and more in West London

Perfectionism is a learned pattern of setting excessively high standards and responding to failure with harsh self-criticism. CBT treats perfectionism by identifying the rules and assumptions that drive it, examining the evidence for and against those rules, and using behavioural experiments to test whether lowering standards actually produces the feared consequences.
