How do I know if I am distorting my reality in this way?

What are some clues that I might be

experiencing the symptoms of imposter syndrome?

Yeah, I mean, I think the clues are in the definition.

So if you are regularly experiencing self-doubt, if there's a storyline that pops into your head in the form of anxiety about being found out, if you are attributing...

your success, you know, entirely to factors that are outside of your control.

I think these are clues that you might be subject to this kind of a distortion field.

Okay, after the break, Frances, we're going to get into this.

We're going to move on to strategies on how you fix imposter syndrome.

Okay, I am anxious to fix this.

So let's get into the things that you have seen work for people to break out of this false reality, essentially.

That's the heart of my question.

How do we get over the fact that we're not reliable narrators when we're in this state?

Talk to me about an accurate record.

What is the thing?

So let me just use an example.

So I'm in a typical office and I feel this creep in often in a meeting setting, for example.

And so I'm just going to grade myself on my contribution to meetings for an entire week.

Is that an example of what you're talking about?

And I'm grading quality of contribution in the meeting.
