"I'm not cut out for this." "I don't know what I'm doing." "I'm a bad mom."
These thoughts can fuel an overwhelming feeling of Imposter syndrome - in which one doubts one's accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Sound familiar?
Dr. Emee Vida Estacio is a chartered psychologist & best-selling author, sharing in this episode practical strategies to remedy this feeling; but first, she shares her own tumultuous transition to motherhood and how she ended up walking away from a distinguished career in academics.
Get ready to take notes as you listen!
She explains the 2 symptoms of imposter syndrome:
#1 - The inability to internalize success
#2 - Maladaptive perfectionist tendencies
She teaches us the TLC Technique for exploring the voice of our inner critic, as well as the Flashlight Technique she uses with her clients.
She believes it's harmful to try to banish, suppress or crush your inner critic and coaches a new perspective. Our conversation can also help you better come alongside and encourage a friend that feels like they're failing.
Dr. Emee’s books are available on Amazon, Audible, & iTunes
