The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control by Sara Mohr-Pietsch

  • The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control is a compassionate invitation to examine the roots of perfectionism and the toll it takes on emotional and physical wellbeing. While not a health book, its themes of control, self-criticism, fear of failure, and burnout resonate deeply with those navigating long-term conditions such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain. The book encourages readers to shift from striving and fixing toward curiosity, softness, and creative freedom - all of which are common principles in mind-body recovery work.
