How to break the circle of 'never good enough'Striving for something can be a healthy and positive attribute; it's good to aim high.But sometimes whatever we do just isn't good enough; we want to be too perfect and start setting unrealistic goals.Such high levels of perfectionism, often driven by low self-esteem, can turn against success and develop into unhealthy obsession, triggering serious mental-health problems, such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), on which this self-help book is based, has been found to be a highly effective treatment and provides relief from that disabling sense of not being good enough. In this essential self-help guide, you will learn:- How clinical perfectionism manifests itself - Effective coping strategies with invaluable guidance on how to avoid future relapseOVERCOMING self-help guides use clinically-proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.Many guides in the Overcoming series are recommended under the Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme.
