Burnout & High-Performance Stress
-
You may feel trapped in an exhausting cycle of severe perfectionism, chronic self-criticism, and imposter syndrome. Despite clear external achievements, you might:
Constantly overprepare for tasks
Struggle to delegate responsibilities
Live with a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud
-
From a psychodynamic perspective, these demanding patterns rarely develop in a vacuum. They are frequently shaped by past experiences of chronic criticism or conditional acceptance, where you implicitly learned that your safety and self-worth depended entirely on flawless performance.
-
You do not have to carry this pressure alone. Using evidence-based medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, we collaboratively work to:
Examine and understand your internalized inner critic
Ease the unconscious pressure to be perfect
Explore how to cultivate a more genuine, lasting sense of inner calm
