Achievement Trauma

Achievement trauma is what happens when individuals have been pushed, either by intrinsic or extrinsic factors, to succeed at all costs.

Are you driven to succeed, no matter what?

Achievement trauma is what happens when individuals have been pushed, either by intrinsic or extrinsic factors, to succeed at all costs. By doing so, individuals experience events that put their emotional stability and identity on the backburner, causing them to experience mental health issues later in life, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance use, or career enmeshment. 

Achievement trauma can be difficult to recognize, and requires a professional familiar in the area to identity and generate realistic incremental solutions. If this sounds like something you are struggling with, Azimuth is here to help.
