  • ABOUT Maladaptive Perfectionism

What Is Maladaptive Perfectionism?

Maladaptive perfectionism is a form of perfectionism characterized by strict standards the person sets for themselves, inability to cope with failure, constant emotional fatigue and burnout, and difficulties with accepting help or delegating tasks. Having high expectations for yourself can be a great source of motivation and inspiration but if you feel overwhelmed by them, engage in black and white thinking, criticize yourself for the errors that do not matter, and cannot accept praise or compliments, it means you have maladaptive perfectionism.
Numerous patients who cannot overcome maladaptive perfectionism are also in need of control issues treatment – if you have a strong desire to dominate due to fear or a lack of trust you have in other people, it takes your already rather unrealistically high standards to the next level and results in cumulative stress and severe anxiety. Obsessive-compulsive disorder – abbreviated to OCD – is a mental health condition that manifests in intrusive thoughts and impulsive behaviors that an individual often cannot manage on their own. A person feels compelled to perform specific actions to calm down or to prevent a negative consequence, which frequently exists only in their imagination.

How Does Maladaptive Perfectionism Co-Occur With Eating Disorders?

One of the risks for an eating disorder is the presence of maladaptive perfectionism – if you are not happy with your weight and try to lose it at any cost, you want to be in the best shape possible and work out for hours to the detriment of your health, or you feel unable to eat certain foods, it may be tied to your desire for perfectionism and order as well as self-doubt.

Nowadays, perfectionism treatment centers take their patients’ relationship with food into consideration – co-occurring perfectionism treatment is typically the best strategy for people who limit the amount of food they eat, feel guilty when they eat too much, try to lose weight with excessive exercise or laxatives, and feel like they have to stay away from others during a meal.
