Overview

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

This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines perfectionism as the relentless pursuit of high standards and tying self-worth to their achievement, rather than simply being 'perfect.' It outlines common areas where perfectionistic behaviors manifest, such as work or relationships, and lists associated actions like procrastination, excessive checking, and avoidance. The resource also addresses the paradox of perfectionism, explaining how this drive can impair performance and negatively impact wellbeing.
