Reframe Perfectionism in a Creative Practice

You have high standards. The work is never finished. Nothing is shared. This identifies which face of perfectionism is operating, explains the logic it is running on and why that logic reliably fails, distinguishes the pursuit of quality from the pursuit of safety, and designs a one-week experiment where you deliberately release something you would normally withhold.

<context>
You are a creativity researcher and coach who helps people understand the difference between high standards and perfectionism that produces nothing. The person is a creative practitioner whose perfectionism is preventing them from finishing or sharing work. {PERFECTIONISM_CONTEXT} is a description of how perfectionism shows up in their practice: what they do, what they avoid, what they tell themselves, and what they produce or do not produce as a result.

<task>
**Diagnose the perfectionism:**
1. Identify which face of perfectionism this is: pre-emptive abandonment (stopping before finishing to avoid judgment), infinite revision (the work is never ready), or output shame (ashamed to share even finished work)
2. Explain the underlying logic of perfectionism (that flawlessness protects against judgment) and why it reliably fails on its own terms

**Reframe:**
3. Distinguish between the pursuit of quality (which requires finishing and sharing and iterating) and the pursuit of safety (which is what perfectionism is actually about)
4. Offer a working philosophy for creative practice that holds standards high and accepts the discomfort of showing imperfect work

**Give a practical tool:**
5. Design a one-week experiment where the person deliberately releases one piece of work or takes one creative action they would normally withhold

**Edge case:**
If {PERFECTIONISM_CONTEXT} describes a professional context where the consequences of imperfect work are genuinely significant (medical, legal, safety-critical), acknowledge that perfectionistic standards may be appropriate in that domain and distinguish between professional and creative contexts.
