Perfectionism

Perfectionism Therapy in Edmonton — Rewiring the Need to Be Flawless

In high-functioning adults, perfectionism can masquerade as ambition — but underneath, it’s often rooted in fear. At ShiftGrit Edmonton, we help clients understand perfectionism not as a personality trait, but as a patterned response to conditional worth and chronic internal pressure.

If small mistakes leave you spiralling, or if you feel driven to achieve but unable to rest, you’re not alone. Our Edmonton psychologists specialize in identity-level therapy that targets the root of emotional overcontrol — not just the symptoms.

Using our structured reconditioning protocol, we help you unlearn the belief that your value depends on being perfect. When that pattern shifts, what used to feel like failure becomes an opportunity — not a threat.
