Join Carlette Patterson, Head Sports Life Coach® & CEO of Patterson Sports Ventures® and Mark R. Allen, MD, Peak Sports Psychiatry to learn about the symptoms of OCD, how perfectionism affects athletes, and how it can be managed and treated.
Wellbeing:
- Perfectionism can be productive at times, but it becomes challenging to manage when rigidity and hyper-awareness leads to functional impairment. In sport, an athlete may struggle to leave their ‘practice mindset’ and enter Flow State during a game.
INFORMAT10N: - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) differ in severity and characteristics and are often developed in athletes as a means of control.
NAVIGAT10N Through Change:- Perfectionists should remain process-oriented rather than results-oriented and slowly incorporate flexibility into their lives and connect with a professional for OCD or OCPD treatment.
