IMPOSTOR SYNDROME Episode 2 (How to deal with impostor syndrome)

<p><strong>IMPOSTOR SYNDROME Episode 2</strong></p> <p><strong>(How to deal with impostor syndrome)</strong></p> <p>One of the first steps to overcoming impostor feelings is to acknowledge the thoughts and put them in perspective. “We can help teach people to let go and more critically question those thoughts.</p> <p>Dr. Ervin says, "I encourage clients to ask &nbsp;‘Does that thought help or hinder me?’”</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can also reframe your thoughts. Dr. Young says she reminds people that the only difference between someone who experiences impostor syndrome and someone who does not is how they respond to challenges. “People who don’t feel like impostors are no more intelligent or competent or capable than the rest of us,” Dr. Young says. “It’s very good news, because it means we just have to learn to think like non-impostors.” Learning to value constructive criticism, understanding that you’re actually slowing your team down when you don’t ask for help, or remembering that the more you practice a skill, the better you will get at it can all help.</p> <p><br></p> <p>It can also be helpful to share what you’re feeling with trusted friends or mentors. People who have more experience can reassure you that what you’re feeling is normal, and knowing others have been in your position can make it seem less scary.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Most people experience moments of doubt, and that’s normal. The important part is not to let that doubt control your actions, says Young. “The goal is not to never feel like an impostor. The goal for me is to give people the tools and the insight and information to talk themselves down faster,” she says. “They can still have an impostor moment, but not an impostor life.”</p> <p>use this like to listen to <a href="https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/iP4kghiaotb" target="_blank"><strong>IMPOSTOR SYNDROME Episode 1</strong></a></p>

IMPOSTOR SYNDROME (Episode 1)

<p><strong>&nbsp;IMPOSTOR SYNDROME (Episode 1)</strong></p> <p>Have you ever felt like you don’t belong?</p> <p>Like your friends or colleagues are going to discover you’re a fraud, and you don’t actually deserve your job and accomplishments?</p> <p>These feelings are known as impostor syndrome, or what psychologists often call impostor phenomenon.</p> <ul> <li>When you begin to doubt your abilities, and start feeling like a fraud,&nbsp;</li> <li>When you find it difficult to accept your accomplishments,</li> <li>when you start asking if you're deserving of accolades,</li> </ul> <p>Then you are suffering from IMPOSTER SYNDROME</p> <p>The English dictionary defined impostor syndrome as "A psychological phenomenon in which a person is unable to internalize his or her accomplishments, remaining convinced that he or she does not deserve any accompanying success".</p> <p>You have IMPOSTOR SYNDROME when you have persistent doubt concerning your abilities or accomplishments accompanied by the fear of being exposed as a fraud despite evidence of one's ongoing success.</p> <p><strong>SIGNS OF IMPOSTOR SYNDROME</strong></p> <p>It is estimated that 70% of people will experience at least one episode of this phenomenon at some point in their lives.</p> <p>If you wonder whether you might have imposter syndrome, ask yourself the following questions:</p> <ul> <li>Do you agonize over even the smallest mistakes or flaws in your work?</li> <li>Do you attribute your success to luck or outside factors?</li> <li>Are you sensitive to even constructive criticism?</li> <li>Do you feel like you will inevitably be found out as a phony?</li> <li>Do you downplay your own expertise, even in areas where you are genuinely more skilled than others?</li> </ul> <p>If you often find yourself feeling like you are a fraud or an imposter, it may be helpful to talk to a therapist. The negative thinking, self-doubt, and self-sabotage that often characterize imposter syndrome can affect many areas of your life.</p> <p><strong>WHY DO PEOPLE EXPERIENCE IMPOSTOR SYNDROME?</strong></p> <p>There’s no single answer. Some experts believe it has to do with personality traits—like anxiety or neuroticism—while others focus on family or behavioral causes, Sometimes childhood memories, such as feeling that your grades were never good enough for your parents or that your siblings outshone you in certain areas, can leave a lasting impact. “People often internalize these ideas: that in order to be loved or be lovable, ‘I need to achieve,’” says Ervin. “It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle.”</p> <p>Factors outside of a person, such as their environment or institutionalized discrimination, can also play a major role in spurring impostor feelings. “A sense of belonging fosters confidence.” “The more people who look or sound like you, the more confident you feel. And conversely, the fewer people who look or sound like you, it can and does for many people impact their confidence.”</p> <p><strong>So, don't look down on yourself take out that self-doubt, that self-discrimination and embrace yourself.</strong></p>
