The Problem with Perfect
A 12-week therapy group for rigidity, perfectionism, and overcontrol.
Being responsible isn't the problem. Having high standards isn't the problem.
But what happens when control becomes the only way you know how to feel safe?
This group explores perfectionism, rigidity, emotional inhibition, overthinking, difficulty with uncertainty, and the pressure to always get it right. Drawing from principles of Radical Openness and other evidence-informed approaches, we'll practice flexibility, openness, connection, and learning to tolerate the discomfort of not being completely in control.
We'll also explore how patterns of overcontrol can extend into the way we relate to our bodies, food, movement, appearance, routines, and other areas of daily life. Together, we'll look at where control helps, where it gets in the way, and what becomes possible when we loosen the grip.
