Health Matters 3/12: Granting Yourself Permission to Be Less Than Perfect Feeling less than perfect these days? You’re not alone. Despite what the banana bread photos on social media might suggest, navigating the COVID-19 pandemic has been hard for just about everybody. Letting go of perfectionism, however, can help ease the stress and strain, not only now, but also in a post-pandemic life. If you feel pressure to be perfect all the time and are struggling to cope, therapy may help. Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health offers evidence-based treatment programs for children, adolescents and adults. These programs help address behavioral health issues, develop coping skills, and regain quality of life through intensive, multi-week outpatient programs. Inpatient treatment is also available for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.
