Perfectionism

4.9/5 10 experiences

Ambition and perseverance are great qualities, until they push you too far. If you keep raising the bar and are never satisfied, it can cause stress and tension. In this individual coaching program, you’ll learn to break these patterns and work step by step toward more calm and balance.

Practical information

Do you recognise yourself in any of this?

You set high standards for yourself, and often for others.

You struggle to set boundaries and keep crossing them.

You feel responsible for everything and everyone.

You fear failure and find it hard to decide.

You procrastinate or overthink.

You sleep poorly or worry a lot.

You constantly seek validation from others.

These patterns can lead to exhaustion, stress, or even burnout. The good news: you can learn to break them. Coaches Nicole Meijer and Claudia Tammer (De KeuzeCoach / Perfectionismecoach) help you find balance between ambition and wellbeing. The program always starts with an informal introductory meeting to see what you need and whether there’s a match.

With a little help, you discover psychological mechanisms that allow you to develop yourself better. With the coaching, you discover over the years where you have developed inhibitions and how these can slow down your personal development. You learn how to turn this into strengths and use them in your development. I found it very pleasant, trustworthy, and educational.

The setup of the process. Step by step, you are guided and gain insight into old and new patterns. Almost unconsciously, a change takes place in your thinking and behavior. I did not expect beforehand that it was possible to achieve that change within a relatively short period of time.

Personal one-on-one coaching, spread over several weeks. This ensures that you remain engaged with it both consciously and unconsciously. This sets something in motion that continues even after the coaching.

Very good. From the very first moment, there is a good focus on the individual, looking for personal needs and determining an approach from there. There is room for personal input, and there is good consultation about direction and follow-up steps/planning. The good thing about this coaching is also the environment in which the coaching takes place. By stepping out of the operational and work environment, you enter a different setting, which benefits the coaching.

Repetition during these sessions really made me realize what I was doing wrong. Awareness led to action. The only part I couldn't easily relate to was the somewhat abstract aspect of this coaching. The idea behind it is great (carefree child part and critical professional/adult), but trying to visualize and lose myself in the thought just didn't work for me. Despite this, I still learned what I hoped to learn and handle many things better than before.

Perfectionism... yes, I also have patterns that fall under this. I approached this with an open mind, curious to see if it would be beneficial for me. After six sessions, I can say that it has helped me a lot and made me think, resulting in practical application and implementation. I am on my way to continue and further develop my path. It is very positive that these are 1:1 sessions, making it very personal. It's also reassuring to know that I can always rely on Nicole (coach) if needed.

I really liked the coaching program. It added value to both my professional and private life. Together with Nicole, I set a goal and a path. We worked on my perfectionism, and I can already see new behavior patterns emerging. Nicole is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The sessions in nature were relaxing. The results are valuable for all areas of life and improve the quality of life.

The coaching sessions take place in a pleasant and safe environment, where the coach makes it very easy to share your story. Additionally, the assignments have contributed to creating awareness of both old and new patterns. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly changes can occur in your behavior and patterns. For me, it was very valuable and contributed to increasing my self-confidence.

It's actually a type of coaching that everyone should have at the start of their career, because you learn how to get the most out of life in terms of happiness and enjoyment in both work and personal life. I also think it would help prevent burnouts, as perfectionism is often a symptom in people who experience burnouts.
