Workshop15 April, 2026, 14:00 - 15:30

Do you feel paralysed because there’s something inside you that constantly forces you to do things perfectly? Do you find yourself spending hours of your life doing and redoing certain things until they’re absolutely flawless? Then let me guess: you feel frustrated (perhaps even exhausted), because you never get the feeling that you’ve done enough.

If this description sounds like you, then the workshop “Learn to Make Mistakes: How to Deal with Perfectionism and Self-Criticism” is made just for you! Come and learn about the impact perfectionism can have on you, how it relates to self-criticism, and how you can break free from this vicious circle.

Objetives:

  • Psychoeducation on perfectionism and its consequences;

  • Self-assessment of levels of perfectionism and self-criticism;

  • Presentation of a five-step self-help programme designed to reduce perfectionism and self-criticism.

Trainer: Psychologist Joana Baptista (GAPsi).
