It has been scientifically proven that self-criticism, perfectionism and self-demandingness (or imposing extremely high standards to ourselves) play an important role in the occurrence and maintenance of mental disorders such as anxiety, mood, and eating disorders.<\/p>\n

The psychological treatment of these factors produces a decrease in the number of symptoms in different areas and also reduces some symptoms that have not yet appeared. Many studies exist which have proven the significant reduction of anxiety and depression with the treatment of self-demandingness and perfectionism as the only treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>

There are healthier ways to accomplish our goals, but the self-demandingness begins as a response to the environment that \u201chelps\u201d people achieve their goals.

But distress or intense negative emotions is the best indicator to know that it is time to change these patterns.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
