If you are anxious when you're practicing it, instead of feeling helped and/or calmed, then it's probably not healthy. It's not that you are necessarily a perfectionist but you need the control of knowing what is going on and having it go a certain way, it's a protection rather than a fault. Protection isn't bad but if it gets in the way, like wearing winter, long-sleeved clothes in the summer, then it is time to work on why you feel the need for such heavy protection.
