Yes, discuss it with your therapist.

What's your definition of a perfectionist? I think we are discussing two different things. Your description makes me think I said I was a narcissist or something. I don't have delusions of grandeur. I have delusions of inferiority, if anything.

And what therapy do you suggest my therapist use on me to correct this problem?
