Overcoming Perfectionism

Description

Overcoming Perfectionism: A self-help guide using scientifically supported cognitive behavioural techniques (2nd Edition)
By Roz Shafran, Sarah Egan and Tracey Wade.

Book Synopsis
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. Cognitive behavioural therapy (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.

In this essential self-help guide, you will learn:

– How clinical perfectionism manifests itself
– Effective coping strategies with invaluable guidance on how to avoid future relapse
