Summary of Emee Vida Estacio's Imposter Syndrome Remedy - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Imposter Syndrome is a feeling of self-doubt, inadequacy, and incompetence, despite evidence that reflects otherwise. It is common among professionals, and can be debilitating. #2 The term imposter syndrome was first coined by clinical psychologists Pauline Clance and Suzzane Imes in 1970. It is defined as an internal experience of intellectual phoniness, which is a persistent feeling of being a fraud. #3 The fear of being exposed as a fraud is a core characteristic of Imposter Syndrome.
People with Imposter Syndrome will work hard to complete tasks they are obligated to do, but they will also feel anxiety because they are afraid that they will be exposed as a fraud if they fail to meet the unreasonably high standards they set for themselves. #4 Imposter Syndrome is not about faking it. It is not about pretending to be someone you are not. It is about believing that you are the real deal and that you are good at what you do.
