Wellness Weekly | Imposter Syndrome

Nic Zee talks during this episode about Imposter Syndrome after checking in with her friends and previous guests on the show, it seemed like a good time to address the issue.

Imposter syndrome is the condition of feeling anxious and not experiencing success internally, despite being high-performing in external, objective ways. This condition often results in people feeling like "a fraud" or "a phony" and doubting their abilities.   Imposter syndrome is a cognitive distortion. It causes people to doubt their skills and accomplishments. They doubt others’ high regard for them. They doubt their own history and track record.

Clinical psychologists, Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes, first identified and named the phenomenon back in 1978.
