“Perfectionists, procrastinators, and people-pleasers take note. There is a new book available that
can change how you live your life!
The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism
by Sharon Martin is more
than a book; it’s a program. If you find yourself caught up in self-criticism and self-judgment,
struggling with deadlines, or sabotaging your own success, you will find enormous comfort and
guidance in this well-thought-out, highly structured workbook.”
—Jonice

nationally recognized pioneer in the area of
childhood emotional neglect, and best-selling author of

and

“This workbook redefines what it means to work through your stuff. It’s chock-full of activities
that help you really think about what you want to change AND gets you actively moving towards
the change you want to see. The workbook takes you from understanding perfectionism to navi-
gating the tough road to recovering from perfectionism to being able to live a life without the guilt
and people-pleasing that come from being a perfectionist. And while many workbooks claim to do
this, the way Sharon has crafted this workbook shows you step by practical step how to succeed at
making this a solid transition. Professionals will love working with this book in their practices, and
clients will love working through their perfectionism with such a useful guide.”

“I’m a big fan of workbooks because they allow the reader to become an active participant in their
self-help efforts. Sharon Martin’s contribution to help people fight perfectionism is a fantastic
antidote to getting perfectionism’s maladaptive behaviors better under control. Martin offers a
direct and no-nonsense look at perfectionism that eschews psychobabble, pulling together tech-
niques in a cohesive and sensible manner. This workbook works well as either an adjunct to psy-
chotherapy, or as a stand-alone guide to those in need of help of silencing the perfectionist in
themselves. There’s no better book on the market that offers such practical advice and exercises for
someone who wants better control over their perfectionism.”

“Many people struggle with perfectionism whether it’s in our workplaces, in relationships, or the
battle within ourselves. And many books talk about its root causes and how perfectionism affects
the human psyche. But rarely do books offer ways to address perfectionism. In
The CBT Workbook
for Perfectionism,
Sharon Martin offers practical, concrete, research-driven ways to let go of strug-
gles like self-criticism, procrastination, people-pleasing, and the need for control. A must-read for
anyone whose potential has been hindered by perfectionism.”

“Perfectionism can be paralyzing, but Sharon Martin gives you a road map to reclaim your life.
Sharon expertly guides you to down a path to self-discovery, and arms you with exercises to find
mental and emotional freedom. For lifelong high achievers,
The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism
is
a must-have companion that will help you embrace imperfect action and reach your goals with less
stress.”
—Melody

of human behavior at The City University of New York
“Sharon Martin has been a trusted resource for my clinical work for years. She has a way of break-
ing down complex topics into understandable explanations, which makes them easier to under-
stand and address. This workbook is no exception. She clearly explains what perfectionism is, how
it shows up in our lives, where it comes from, and what we can do to change the perfectionistic
behavior, which can be so problematic in our lives. This workbook includes so many effective strat-
egies to help those of us who struggle because of perfectionism, and I plan to use it in my individual
work with clients as well as with groups. I highly recommend this book to clinicians and the
general public alike.”
