Short Summary

Perfectionism is a deeply ingrained personality style rooted in a core belief of personal inadequacy, driving individuals to relentlessly seek flawlessness to gain acceptance and worth. It often stems from unmet attachment needs in early life, leading to a self-critical inner dialogue and maladaptive behaviors aimed at concealing imperfections, ultimately hindering true connection and well-being. Therapy, rather than focusing on eliminating perfectionism, aims to address the underlying feelings of unworthiness and facilitate self-acceptance, allowing for healthier ways of navigating the world.
