Perfectionism refers to a combination of overly critical self-evaluations and excessive personal standards. Many people experience perfectionism to some degree, and it might not become problematic. For some, however, perfectionism can adversely affect relationships, participation at work or school, and other daily activities. Perfectionism is also associated with certain mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
A trained child psychologist can help individuals understand the factors driving their perfectionism and develop more balanced personal standards, beliefs, thinking patterns, and behaviors. This cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach is common and effective, but many other therapeutic approaches can also be beneficial. Other child psychologists may help individuals develop greater self-compassion and acceptance, for example, while increasing awareness of their thoughts and bodies through mindfulness or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
