Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains how biased information processing and harsh self-criticism maintain perfectionism.

The resource introduces thought diaries as a tool for clients to identify, evaluate, and challenge these unhelpful thoughts.
