Therapy for the high- achieving Perfectionist in El Paso, TX
Perfectionism and Burnout say…
“I can’t slow down or rest”
Your mind is mentally drained and your body feels heavy, yet something inside of you prohibits rest in your life.
“I can do it myself”
you struggle to accept help from others because it may not come out as you want it to if they help. You then wonder why you’re left to do all the work and become resentful.
“I will be enough once I achieve that”
Nothing is ever enough. The goal post keeps moving; there’s always a new milestone or goal that comes up and restricts you from feeling worthy. As a result, you never feel like you’re enough or that you do enough.
“If they don’t like me, there must be something wrong with me”
You internalize rejection. You believe other people’s opinion of you to be the fundamental truth. You recognize every shift in tone and message and you wonder what you did to make the shift happen.
You might benefit from Perfectionism and Burnout therapy if….
Making a mistake feels like the end of the world to you. You replay past mistakes over and over in your head and feel constant shame.
You have a full- to do list and have not started checking things off. You feel paralyzed and add more things on the list to soothe the anxiety you feel. The cycle continues leaving you feeling high levels of stress.
You spend hours rethinking and revising your text messages to ensure you are understood.
You feel the need to over explain yourself or overshare even when you are not close to the person.
You impose impossible standards on yourself and those around you. Your expectations often leave you and those you love feeling debilitated.

My approach to Perfectionism and Burnout Therapy
There’s a part of you that learned that your worth depended on how other people perceived you. Your caregivers might have had you walking on eggshells trying to prove that you were lovable. This now shows up in your current patterns. You feel unable to stop until you prove your worth to those around you
Like any learned pattern, this could be unlearned. Together we will uncover any limiting beliefs keeping you stuck in people pleasing tendencies. Additionally, we will work to develop tolerance for the shame you feel on a daily basis so that it no longer influences your decisions. Together we will learn to accept all the older versions of you and lovingly release them.
You have had to be someone else for so long. It’s time to come home. It’s time to feel safe being you.
