Module 2 - Understanding Perfectionism
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explores the developmental origins of perfectionism, focusing on how early experiences with praise or punishment shape rigid beliefs. It is designed for clients to understand why they may have developed unrelenting high standards and specific 'rules for living.' The resource provides background information rather than direct therapeutic interventions.
