I’m a clinical psychologist, meditation teacher, and life learner on resilience, self-compassion and healing. And, I’m a recovering perfectionist.

“It’s a must-read for the
frazzled perfectionist.”

THOMAS CURRAN, leading perfectionism researcher and author of The Perfection Trap: Embracing the Power of Good Enough

Are You Ready To Break Free from Perfectionism?

In today’s high-pressure society, we are constantly fed a fable of individualism, exceptionalism, determination, and ingenuity, and taught a mythology of grin and bear it, no pain no gain, and hard work pays off, despite the fact that the conditions for success are unpredictable and ever changing. 

Psychologist Tara Cousineau claims that perfectionism is a paradox: It is the tension created by the need for belonging, a desire for excellence, and a quest for a meaningful and productive life. But perfectionism can be transformed by learning to connect both head and heart, replacing inner algorithms of comparison and criticism with self-acceptance and self-compassion.
