Therapy for People Pleasers & Overachievers in Tennessee and Minnesota

As a perfectionist, the duties of life can feel endless, waking each day just to complete your to-do list. You take on obligations, attempting to prove yourself or maybe because you don’t trust others to do it and meet your standards. There is a constant weight upon you, waiting for the approval of others or to take that next step into your personal goals. You feel weighed down, as you find yourself taking on the tasks or emotions of others and find yourself feeling exhausted in nature. This may impact personal relationships, as you struggle to set boundaries and find limited time for things of importance.

The constant pressure may cause you to doubt your ability to accomplish tasks, or to feel spread thin in daily life. Due to the endless list, you accomplish a task to feel limited satisfaction, rather checking it off and moving quickly to the next. This overwhelming pressure may cause you to have anxiety or fear, making it difficult to enjoy the simple moments of life.
