Navigating Perfectionism

​Perfectionism can look different for different people.  A few key aspects include:

• the irrational belief that you and/or your environment must be perfect
• striving to be the best and expecting the best from others
• a deep belief that mistakes are unacceptable
• always being alert to the imperfections, faults, and weaknesses in yourself and others
• fear of failure and rejection

Did you know that a common aspect of perfectionism is procrastination?  The two often go hand-in-hand.

​Some of the negative consequences of perfectionism include:

Low self-esteem. Someone struggling with perfectionism never feels "good enough'' about their personal performance, so feelings of being a "failure" or a "loser" can  contribute to low self-confidence and self-worth​

Guilt: Because perfectionism causes a person to never feel good about the way they are handling life, they may experience a sense of guilt or shame.

Pessimism. Since perfectionism has convinced you that it will be extremely difficult to achieve an "ideal goal", you may easily become discouraged and give up easily

Lack of motivation. Believing that the goal of "change'' will never be able to be ideally or perfectly achieved can often cause a lack of motivation to attempt change in the first place, or to continue on if change has already begun.

How Coaching can Help:

• develop a new mindset that embraces the full range of human emotions and experience
• set realistic goals, balanced with healthy self-care
• recognize that perfectionism is not who you are; rather it is a habit you have developed
• learn ways to work through critical self-talk
• develop the ability to identify thinking traps that are keeping you stuck
• build self-compassion and mindfulness into your everyday life​

 ​Coaching provides support and guidance around overcoming perfectionism and developing healthy coping strategies.  ​​​

Interactive Coaching Program

After 17 years interacting with a wide range of clients in the fields of mental health, personal development, and coaching, I continue to be amazed by the core and common elements that connect us all. Whether a client initially seeks coaching to work on their relationships or their career, their habits or their emotional wellbeing, it always boils down to their relationship with themselves.

When we've been able to switch gears and focus on building self-awareness and increasing personal insight, that's when real change happens in the other areas of their lives.

Working solely on "issues", without diving deeper to understand what's driving your behaviors and dictating your perspective means you are likely to continue struggling.

This experiential Coaching Program blends psychology, brain-science, and elements of spirituality. You'll be guided in uncovering the innate potential within you to open up and experience life fully!

Bobbi Beuree,
Coach + Facilitator

Navigating some significant challenges in my life took me to a deep place where I could learn more about myself, life, and the people and world around me.  I'm so grateful that, through coaching, I get to share what I've learned with others, while helping them to make sense of their own life experience.

Like so many others, I know what it's like to feel anxious, and hopeless, lost and defeated.  And I also know what it's like to feel energized, hopeful, and inspired! I've come to know on a deep level that the latter is our true nature.  But it is often covered up by our limiting beliefs, faulty thinking patterns, unconscious emotional reactions, habits, and more.

​I've spent the past 17 years working with people, helping them to grow in self-awareness, uncover their full potential, and create lives that are full, engaged, and meaningful.  It is always so rewarding to watch clients reach powerful new insights around what they are capable of!

Feedback from Coaching Clients

My biggest take-away so far is that my mind has a mind of its own! I'm starting to understand why I have the patterns I do in my life. It's feeling good to practice things that actually make me feel peaceful. (T.O., 52)

I've been to therapy, which helped at the time. But this feels different, like I've made changes that will allow me to handle challenging experiences now and in the future. Instead of feeling "helped" I felt mentored and guided in helping myself. (Charlotte N., 33)

Having the online modules has been so helpful! I feel like I'm learning so much that I can apply directly to what's going on with me. Being able to come to session knowing I can talk it all through makes it a seamless process. I really feel like emotionally, I'm the best I've ever been! (Peter V, 26)

I have learned so much about myself throughout this experience. I didn't realize how critical I was being about myself. The self-compassion exercises and understanding more about my self-talk has helped me understand how my behaviors and beliefs have been holding me back. This has really changed so much for me - thank you! (Sara, 46)
