Striving to be perfect can seem like a positive and admirable characteristic to have. However, in striving to reach this goal, we are at risk of becoming overachievers who set unrealistic standards for
ourselves and others. Over time, this can lead to low self-esteem, underachievement and illness; the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish. As Christians, we believe in grace, but when we gravitate toward becoming overachievers, we can often live out of our own strength, which renders grace irrelevant.

In this webinar, Dr Rob Waller will draw on his twenty years of experience as a Psychiatrist to unpack the psychological concept of “clinical perfectionism” as a self-maintaining cycle of thoughts and behaviours. Drawing on both modern psychology and biblical theology, Dr Waller will provide tools and skills to help us serve a perfect God without becoming overachievers in the process.
