Pefectionism and Procrastination
These two linked workshops encourage participants to explore their own tendencies to procrastinate and how this is often connected to perfectionism. We will focus on how having standards that are too high can interfere with performance and generate low mood and anxiety. Perfectionistic behaviour and attitudes are about impossibly high standards.

Perfectionism is not about high standards but about impossible standards.
This workshop offers the opportunity to explore:
