Overcoming Perfectionism: Cognitive Restructuring with Rev. Robert Wilson
We have worth because we know Christ. That is our identity. Doing well at anything here on earth is not our identity. It doesn't diminish you.

Robert Wilson, a seasoned Clinical Psychotherapist, tackles the perfectionist mindset and its impact on our well-being. He introduces cognitive restructuring as a powerful tool to help break free from the shackles of perfectionism. Starting with the ABC grid—Activator, Belief, and Consequence—Rev. Wilson explains how our beliefs shape our experiences and reactions.
He dives into how the perfectionist mindset fuels anxiety and insecurity, and how understanding that our worth isn't tied to performance can be liberating. Rev. Wilson also shares the freeing concept of 'So what?', encouraging us to let go of the need to be number one and to find joy in the journey of achieving our goals.
