WCWSPR27314 Letting Go of Perfectionism

Letting Go of Perfectionism

While high standards are a strength, perfectionism unchecked can lead to chronic stress, overwork and relentless self-criticism. This session explores the difference between healthy ambition and perfectionism, and offers practical tools for doing excellent work without undue pressure.

By the end of this session, participants will:

1. Have an understanding of the difference between healthy high standards and perfectionism — and recognise their own patterns
2. Learn more about self-compassion and letting go of the all-or-nothing thinking that drives perfectionist behaviour
3. Be equipped to support students in developing a healthy relationship with effort, mistakes and learning
