When parent and teen perfectionism create toxic cycles

My teenage daughter and I are both perfectionists and we're stuck in this cycle where her anxiety about school triggers my own control issues from when I was her age and I end up making everything worse by trying to fix it. We can both see what's happening but we don't know how to break out of it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people with similar wounds are unconsciously recreating the very patterns they're trying to heal from.
