Anxiety, OCD, & Perfectionism in the Legal Profession: Supporting Attorney Well-Being

Attorneys operate in high-pressure environments where precision, responsibility, and performance standards are exceptionally high. While these traits can drive success, they can also contribute to chronic anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

In this webinar, participants will:

• Explore how anxiety and perfectionism show up uniquely in legal work

• Identify the difference between healthy striving and OCD-driven patterns

• Learn practical, evidence-based strategies drawn from ERP and ACT

• Receive tools they can immediately apply in their professional lives

The goal is not only to provide meaningful education, but to also offer attorneys concrete, usable strategies to improve well-being and performance.
