Neither do I know how to accept that I am not perfect and that seeking perfection is a waste of time.
So far, EFT does not seem to work for this. I haven't tried my "Belief" Paraliminal CD, but I'm not sure if that would help, either. I see my therapist tomorrow -- do you think she could help with a type of therapy? Any other advice or thoughts would be appreciated. |
You aren't suffering from delusions of grandeur, you are suffering from the opposite. You have a
criticism problem. Not a perfectionist problem. People who are hypercritical and think they can do better than anyone else are suffering from extreme self-esteem issues. By projecting your fantasies of you doing it better, you are trying in a stunted way to make yourself feel important and significant.
Yes, discuss it with your therapist.
