Understanding perfectionism
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to do everything flawlessly, often leading to burnout, anxiety, and self-criticism. It creates unrealistic expectations and can block people from celebrating their own progress. Peer support provides a space to unpack the roots of perfectionism and hear from others facing similar inner battles. These conversations promote self-compassion, realistic thinking, and a shared commitment to embracing imperfection as part of growth.
How peer support helps with perfectionism
