About this Event

Mental Health Matters at 79° West
Open to the Public | 1.0 CE Hour Available

Perfectionism is often praised as discipline, ambition, or high standards. But beneath the surface, it can carry a significant emotional cost.

This talk explores how perfectionism can shape self-worth, increase pressure, and quietly erode well-being. Participants will examine the relationship between performance, internal criticism, fear of failure, and the difficulty many people have in feeling “good enough” even when they appear successful from the outside.

Designed to be accessible to the general public while still clinically relevant, this presentation offers a thoughtful look at the hidden burden of perfectionism and the ways it can affect mood, relationships, and daily functioning.


Presented by Danny Eller, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Owner, Eller Therapy & Counseling PLLC
