Perfectionism

▪️Perfectionism also heightens amygdala activity, amplifying fear and stress. It weakens prefrontal cortex regulation, making control feel vital. Perfectionism emerges as a protective shield against failure, rooted in trauma. It pushes individuals to avoid mistakes at all costs, equating errors with worthlessness.

At the neural level, perfectionism is thought to involve an overactive prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain responsible for planning, decision-making, and self-control.
