DC 15 is gifted AuDHD and has been struggling a lot recently with perfectionism. DC beats themselves up when they can't meet their very high standards. This is true with regard to school work, motor tasks, etc. DC has a therapist and takes Zoloft through a psychiatrist. DC has told us and their therapist that they don't feel any pressure from us (parents), rather it feels internal to them.
Any suggestions for things we can do at home or other things we can try to help support DC? Thanks. |

| Perfectionism can be an OCD theme. A therapist who practices exposure and response prevention (ERP) can help. This is usually a specialist. |
