"Perfectionism may reflect loyalty, gratitude, and honour—not just internal pressure or pathology. Anxiety may arise from fear of disappointing family, shaped by cultural meaning and responsibility."
"The CPR framework invites therapists to move beyond what is said (content) and also attend to how emotion is regulated (process) and how it is shared within the therapeutic relationship (relationship)."
"Culture is not only a context, but part of the predictive system of the brain, influencing emotional access and the therapeutic process."
Perfectionism and anxiety in children, particularly in international schools, can be influenced by cultural values such as filial piety and family duty. These feelings may arise from the fear of disappointing family members. The Content-Process-Relationship (CPR) framework helps therapists address emotional self-restraint by focusing on content, emotional regulation, and the therapeutic relationship. This approach encourages therapists to adapt their techniques and language to better suit Asian cultural contexts, recognizing that culture plays a significant role in emotional experiences.
