Final words
You have now worked through the material on perfectionism and have hopefully gained a better understanding of how perfectionism works, as well as what you can do to create change.
It is important to remember that change is difficult and often requires sustained effort. This applies to everyone, regardless of the challenges they face. Challenging your habits and trying new ways of acting can feel uncomfortable and demanding. Progress rarely follows a straight line.
Be kind to yourself, be patient and reflect on why it is important for you to change your perfectionism.
You may also need different forms of support to achieve positive change. If you would like to speak to a professional, such as a counsellor, psychologist or licensed psychotherapist, you can turn to your healthcare centre or contact your local student health service for help or advice about where to get the support you need.
Good luck on your journey forward!
