The Anxious Perfectionist: How to Manage Perfectionism-Driven Anxiety Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy by Michael P. Twohig, Randy Frost, Clarissa W. Ong
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and New Harbinger Publishers for giving me access to the audiobook in exchange for a review.
The Anxious Perfectionist is a book that addresses perfectionism, the cycle of worry and self deprecation, values, rules, perspectives, process vs result, and more in order to help you gain more control over your thoughts and actions and take back the joy of your life being lost to the need to be perfect. While I enjoyed the audio book, there were a lot of instances where they suggested writing in a journal to accompany the exercises. A guided writing journal on these topics would be a great accompaniment in order to get the most out of this book. My favorite quote:
“Emotional avoidance is self-validation from within.”
