When perfectionist parents and teens amplify each other's impossible standards

My teenage daughter and I both have perfectionist tendencies and we're caught in this pattern where we push each other to achieve but also create impossible standards that leave us both exhausted and disappointed. I want us to find a way to support each other's growth without the constant pressure, but I don't know how to change what feels like our natural dynamic.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people sharing the same wound are unconsciously reinforcing each other's suffering rather than healing together.
