When perfectionist parents and children amplify each other's anxiety

My teenage daughter and I are both perfectionists and we recognize this pattern where we push each other toward impossible standards without meaning to. When she's struggling with school stress, I want to help but I end up making it worse because my own anxiety about her success takes over.

More people experience this than they realize.

Shared psychological patterns between parent and child create feedback loops that intensify the very problems they're trying to solve.
