Perfecting Without Perfectionism: How to Strive for Excellence Without Stressing Out Over Unattainable Ideals

This course is designed to educate legal professionals about perfectionism in the legal field and how, although it can appear as a desirable trait, it is correlated with a higher incidence of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder. The course will outline the characteristics of perfectionism that tend to cause emotional difficulties for lawyers, while carefully examining aspects of legal practice that do not lend themselves to the rigid, all-or-nothing mindset common in perfectionistic tendencies, including approaches based on Carol Dweck’s Mindset theory, Dr. Kristin Neff’s self-compassion practices, and mindfulness techniques.

– Sarah M. MacGillis; Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers
