Workshop that gives you tools how to deal with Fear of Failure and perfectionism.

Perfectionism and negative self-sabotaging thoughts are very common and cause stress, anxiety (fear of failing or fear of success) and a lack of self-esteem. This can cause delay and less success in your study. You might even end up in a downward spiral. During this workshop you will gain insights in the underlying mechanism of fear of failing, fear of success and perfectionism. You learn a cognitive behavioural technique (CBT, such as thought records and behavioural experiments) as a way to stop the negative spiral and start to change it into a more balanced mind-set, and therefore enhance your coping strategies. Daily practice with these techniques will have a sustainable positive impact on your self-esteem and work-life balance. It is essential to keep practicing after the workshop has ended!
