What Is Clinical Procrastination?


The ASMR Psychologist
Published 5 years ago

In this video I am going to explain what Clinical Procrastination is.
We all Procrastinate from time to time, usually when we are feeling less than our best. Nature has in fact programmed us to delay tasks that we are not ready to tackle in order to give us time to prepare ourselves to ensure our best performance and ultimately our survival.
However, we tip into Clinical Procrastination when we get stuck in this delay and instead of spending the time preparing ourselves for the challenge, we spend the time criticising ourselves and predicting negative outcomes. Clinical Procrastination can have a significant and negative impact on our life, our relationships and our mood.
This is particularly common in those with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem and Low Confidence.
Knowing what the problem is, is the first step to resolving it, so in this video I will show you how to self-diagnose Clinical Procrastination so that you can work out if this is the problem that you need to get help with. And then in the next video I will show you how to resolve Clinical Procrastination.
