A perfectionist by any other name...
- Your job feels crushing; you're good at it, but you're starting to crack, and worry it'll show
- You would call yourself a perfectionist; everyone close to you would agree
- You are convinced that if you don't respond immediately to emails then Bad Things will happen
- You constantly feel like you're not doing enough, but can't imagine how you could do more
- Boundary-setting and saying "no" are almost nonexistent
- You know you're not prioritizing your health or overall well-being, but can't seem to change
- Work seeps into the evenings and weekends; even when you try to disconnect, you're still thinking about work
- Vacation (or returning from it) seems too stressful to even contemplate going
- Looking back, you've pretty much always been this way
- Looking forward, you're really, really tired of it
Sound familiar? We should talk.
Coaching ≠ Therapy
A note on coaching vs. therapy. While coaching can do many things, it is not meant to replace therapy. If you are struggling with even getting out of bed in the morning, having panic attacks, processing a major trauma, or in general think that you might have an undiagnosed mental illness, therapy is the best place to start. Coaching can be a wonderful compliment to therapy, either during or after, to help with some of the specific behavioral or lifestyle changes after you and your therapist agree that coaching could help. I support therapy and often work with clients during or after it. For more information about what coaching is (and isn't) check out the page What is Coaching?.
