Imposter Syndrome - Breaking Free and Finding Your Confidence - Kelly Wallace - Bog

With imposter syndrome, you probably feel like a fraud or believe that your achievements are not genuine. This can lead to a lack of confidence and feelings of inadequacy, which can hold you back from taking on new challenges and pursuing your goals. You might also avoid seeking out opportunities, promotions, or recognition for fear of being "found out". This syndrome also causes anxiety, stress, and even depression, which can harm your mental health and overall well-being. In turn, it can affect your ability to focus, be productive, and make healthy decisions.
If you've encountered any of this, know that you aren't alone. Imposter syndrome is common, and even many famous people have experienced it at some point in their lives. Recognizing it and developing a plan to overcome it are crucial for achieving success and happiness. In this book I'll cover what imposter syndrome looks like, feels like, how it affects your life, where it stems from, and ways to deal with it.
I know these strategies work because I've used them to help countless clients and also to overcome it myself. For decades I struggled with feelings of inadequacy and fear of being found out that I had no idea what I was doing, or that I really wasn't as great as everyone thought I was. Over time I released all of that stress and built up the confidence I needed to take off that false mask and be the real me. I also discovered that I was much better and far more competent than I used to believe I was!
