Wellbeing:
- Perfectionism can be productive at times, but it becomes challenging to manage when rigidity and hyper-awareness leads to functional impairment. In sport, an athlete may struggle to leave their ‘practice mindset’ and enter Flow State during a game.
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) differ in severity and characteristics and are often developed in athletes as a means of control.
- Perfectionists should remain process-oriented rather than results-oriented and slowly incorporate flexibility into their lives and connect with a professional for OCD or OCPD treatment.
