Dealing with Perfectionism
3rd December 2015 · 7:00pm - 9:00pm
In person | Virtual event
At this meet up Professor Windy Dryden will present a short seminar on dealing with perfectionism. This will be followed by some live sessions with volunteers, hopefully relating to the topic of perfectionism.
Perfectionism is sometimes regarded as a positive attribute and something to strive for however this trait can be self-defeating and lead to emotional and behavioural problems.
In this seminar Professor Dryden will cover:
• The key definitions of perfectionism
• The emotional consequences of perfectionism
• The behavioural consequences of perfectionism
• Why do we value perfection?
• Whether perfectionism is a positive or negative attribute
• Can perfectionism help us in our success, goals and achievement?
• Can perfectionism make us happy?
This will be a useful seminar whether you are a therapist, coach or for your own personal development.
City CBT Coaching College will provide a continuing professional development (CPD) letter confirming two hours of CPD.
