Finally, therapy can help with perfectionist anxiety. In order to give you even more techniques to fight perfectionism, therapy may be a useful choice if you find that you're having trouble.

By addressing the underlying cause of perfectionism-related behavior, therapy can help people overcome their perfectionism. Before starting therapy, a mental health professional will use the multidimensional perfectionism scale to determine the root of your perfectionism. People who struggle with perfectionism can change the way they think with the help of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This type of therapy shows the perfectionist that perfection is not necessary for everything they do. It teaches them that mistakes are acceptable and shouldn't prevent them from pursuing their goals.
