INTRODUCTION
“I wonder how long it will take
before someone figures out that
I’m not very good at this.”
“I really don’t deserve my success.
I’m the perfect example of the word lucky.”
“I shouldn’t have been given this job.
I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Do you feel like a phony?
Do you find it hard to believe that people trust
you?
Do you regularly feel self-doubt, regardless of
how much success you achieve?
Consider these topics to learn more about yourself and your options for dealing with Impostor Syndrome:

“As a therapist, I've worked with many high-achieving people who don't feel worthy of their success. Whether it was a recent college graduate who had landed a high-paying job or a mature adult who had just received another promotion, all of these people suffer from impostor syndrome.”

Sometimes I feel like an impostor, and I have to remind myself, 'You are able to do this.' I look at the books on the shelf that have my name on them to remind myself I have done it before and, likely, I can do it again.”

CHAPTER 2: THE BASIC
“It feels like my hard work has paid off, but at the same
time, I still have the impostor, you know,
syndrome. I still feel like I'm going to wake up, and
everybody's going to see me for the hack I am.”
- VIOLA DAVIS

“I stopped getting into stupid thought wormholes about identity and stuff.
At one time, I did have some impostor syndrome about public speaking, but
then I remembered I've been doing this since I was little, actually.”
