When you find yourself thinking that everyone has it figured out except for you, that people are going to find out that you are not qualified, or that you are incapable of repeating results, there are a few things we can glean from this information - and it is not that you are unqualified.
This is the voice of the imposter complex (commonly referred to as imposter syndrome), and in this episode, Tanya Geisler fills us in on:
- Why these beliefs may actually be an indicator that you have strong values of integrity and excellence
- How the imposter complex functions as a mechanism to keep you out of action, doubting your capacity, and alone and isolated
- Why you should not aim to eliminate the imposter complex, but should instead aim to work with it
- How to reframe your understanding of the imposter complex as an indicator of important values rather than a failure on your part
- The difference between imposter complex and psychological harm caused by systemic bias and oppression
