Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I hold myself to a standard of basically never making mistakes, so every ordinary slip-up feels like a defect in me
- My head runs on a constant track of "I must get this right" and "I should never mess up," and the moment I fall short of one of those the self-attack is instant and brutal
- I spend so much energy trying to push down or get rid of what I feel, and it just comes back stronger
- Whatever I’m feeling, I pile on top of it
- Something goes wrong and my whole body reacts like it’s the end of the world
Practices that may help
- Unconditional Self-Acceptance
Unconditional self-acceptance (USA), a cornerstone of Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, means accepting yourself as a fallible human being regardless of performance or approval — not because you are special, but because rating the whole self on any single act is logically incoherent. The evidence is strongest for the clinical outcomes of REBT; the specific USA construct has solid theoretical and observational support. - Practice deliberate acceptance of human fallibility
Regularly remind yourself that being imperfect is not a character flaw — it is the nature of being human.
Unconditional Self-Acceptance - Dispute the musts and shoulds driving self-condemnation
Catch the absolute demand ("I must succeed") and convert it into a preference ("I strongly prefer to succeed").
