4 Keys to Understanding a Perfectionist
(or someone with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

  1. Perfectionists believe that anything less than perfect is unacceptable.
  2. Perfectionists appear confident, but they are actually afraid of failure.
  3. Perfectionists are usually harder on themselves than on others.
  4. Perfectionists live in an overly cautious way. They are often reluctant to try new tasks because they fear failing or appearing "inadequate" in the eyes of others.

7 Self-Defeating Thoughts of a Perfectionist (or someone with OCD)

  1. "If I don't succeed at this, I am a true failure."
  2. "I must never make a mistake."
  3. "I will never have credibility after making such a stupid mistake."
  4. "I can't measure up in areas where it really matters."
  5. "Why can't people just do what I ask without making mistakes?"
  6. "I still should have done better."
  7. "I can't start this assignment until I have everything needed to do it perfectly."

Since perfectionism often starts with a distorted understanding of acceptance, June reveals 10 messages we should think/say to ourselves to start breaking free from self-defeating tendencies and mindsets. These include—

    • TRUTH: "I don't always have to measure up because no one is perfect."
      "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
    • TRUTH: "I never have to fear losing God's love due to anything I might or might not do because His love is unconditional."
      "I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38–39).
  • TRUTH: "I can confidently take on new challenges because—with Christ in me—I'm not limited to doing only those things at which I excel.
    "The Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught" (Proverbs 3:26 ESV).

The Bible is filled with true stories about people who are far from perfect. Even God's greatest servants had flaws and experienced failure. But God's unmatchable grace, picked them back up time and time again, and empowered them to soar to even greater heights of service.

The challenging question is: How do you free yourself from the chains of perfectionism? According to God's Word, you gain freedom by claiming your new identity in Christ. This minibook Perfection: The Performance Trap shows you how to confidently walk in your new identity in Christ—free from the burden of performance.
