Perfectionism isn’t really about high standards—it's about avoiding shame.
Perfectionism doesn't always look like overachievement—it can also manifest as self-sabotage, anger, procrastination, addiction, and more. But beneath each of these patterns lies the same fear: you don't belong as you are.
In this integrative guide, therapist and executive coach Megan Bruneau offers a radical new conceptualization of perfectionism, reframing it as a protective strategy against core shame. By blending Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, attachment theory, and exposure therapy, she provides a framework for treating perfectionism at its root. Filled with worksheets, assessments, and case studies, this book will teach you how to:
- Map the cycle of emotional avoidance that underlies all perfectionist presentations
- Guide clients to connect with their authentic inner voice and values
- Build self-compassion, flexible thinking, and shame resilience
- Support mind-body awareness and nervous system regulation
