Healing From OCD Distortions: Perfectionism

OCD strugglers battle many different “Cognitive Distortions” that seek to take us out from experiencing power, love, and a sound mind. I am excited to give you insights and tips to help you recognize these distortions in your own life so that you can walk in freedom!

Today, I went through the distortion of “Perfectionism.” This is by far the biggest distortion in OCD, and all other distortions can be traced back to this root of perfectionism. It will seek to steal, kill, and destroy our ability to be present, experience fruitful relationships, and walk as sons or daughters of God. I will walk you through different battlegrounds you may be struggling with in specific subsets of OCD, as well as give you 3 things you can apply today to your life to help you heal from perfectionism!

God is always in the business of healing our hearts from the deeply rooted fear of rejection, which is where perfectionism stems from. You are loved, accepted, and approved of not because of what you do, but because God loves you unconditionally. We must learn to be weak so His power can shine through us!

2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
