Imposter Syndrome/Phenomenon
Imposter Syndrome/Phenomenon is a real thing, and many people struggle with it. Psychologists Suzanne Imes, PhD and Pauline Rose Chance, PhD first described it as Imposter Phenomenon in the 1970’s. They found it occurs among high achievers who are unable to internalize and accept their cussess. Those who suffer from IP often attribute their accomplishments to luck rather than to ability, and fear that others will eventually unmask them as a fraud.
Holidays and Stress
Fall marks the beginning of the holiday season which means parties and social gatherings with friends, family and co-workers. A season of giving and receiving, baking and cooking, eating and drinking. A season of love and celebration.
If you’re like me, you start to feel a bit more stressed, anxious and overwhelmed this time of year.
Ever Feel Overwhelmed?
Have you ever opened your closet and said “I don’t have a thing to wear”? And yet you are staring at a closet filled with clothes. So full, in fact, that it's difficult to remove or add an item.
Well this is exactly what happened to me the other day. I found myself standing there staring at my overstuffed closet and feeling completely overwhelmed.
