why does everyone but me seem to have it all together?
We offer therapy in Orillia for perfectionism, people pleasing, low self-esteem, and other confidence and self-worth related issues. You don’t have to hold it all alone - we understand that the demands are life are huge and unending. We can help you be gentler on yourself, and find ways to get through the day that don’t feel so awful.
what perfectionism can look like
-
Perfectionism is about holding ourselves to a standard that we don’t ever seem to be able to reach. It can look like beating yourself up for mistakes, procrastinating, anxiety over doing tasks, overwhelm and other.
-
People pleasing comes from the anxious desire to manage other people’s emotions. We often feel responsible for how other people are feeling, what they are doing, and for meeting their needs without ever being asked. This can lead to constantly feeling hyper-vigilant around other people, and feeling guilty about standing up for yourself, communicating boundaries, or having needs at all.
-
Intellectualizing is a strategy we are taught from an early age - to try to use logic to manage our emotions. This can look like trying to convince yourself not to feel something, telling yourself you are overreacting, ***. The issue is that emotions do not respond to “realistic” logic - they have their own set of logic, based in our biological survival instincts.
how can therapy help with perfectionism?
Therapy can help you understand the root of your perfectionist tendencies, often rooted in our attachment patterns learned in early childhood. It can also help you learn to soothe and manage those anxiety and shame-driven parts of yourself, so that you can slow down, give yourself a break, and let yourself have needs without guilt.
