Therapy for Self-Esteem and Managing Perfectionism
Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful
Let Go of Perfectionism & Self-Doubt to Restore Self-Esteem
You work HARD to fit in, but most days you lack confidence and feel like a fraud. You worry that if people REALLY knew you, they wouldn’t like you. And when you’re not comparing yourself to others, you're judging yourself, saying things to yourself that you would NEVER say to anyone else.
Although your perfectionism is sometimes praised by others, you know its downsides — the people pleasing, the poor boundaries, always feeling like you’re performing. It’s exhausting. And let’s face it, perfectionism hasn’t resulted in a version of yourself that you love. But you don't know how to start accepting yourself. Let alone how to start liking yourself.
Reasons Individuals Seek Support from Self-Esteem and Perfectionism
This constant striving to be the best is hurting you. When confronted with the reality that you are not the best, it crushes your self-esteem. And sets off your critical self-talk AGAIN!
Your perfectionism has not only undermined your self-esteem, it has hurt your relationships and has drained the joy from your life. What’s more — perfectionism is associated with anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
Working together with your Kindful Body therapist you can start a journey to befriend yourself and transform your sense of belonging.

Our Kindful Body Clinicians & Dietitians
“Perfectionism is not self-improvement. Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval and acceptance. Most perfectionists were raised being praised for achievement and performance (grades, manners, rule-following, people-pleasing, appearance, sports). Somewhere along the way, we adopt this dangerous and debilitating belief system: I am what I accomplish and how well I accomplish it.”
