YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn 1978, psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes published the first study on imposter syndromeoriginally termed “imposter phenomenon”about highachieving women feeling like frauds at work… and it struck a major nerve. The study kicked off decades of frenzied discourse, programs, and merch aimed at curing women of this irrational feminine disease. Among the proposed treatments included professional development conferences, selfhelp books like The Imposter Cure, and power poses. Use of the term impostersyndrome has only increased, but I have questions. Like… why are these conversations so gendered? Does anyone NOT experience imposter syndrome? What if you don’t even feel qualified to have imposter syndrome? Is it really a diagnosable “syndrome” in the first place? And either way, how can we stop feeling this way?? Psychiatrist and author of “Real Self Care” () Dr. Pooja Lakshmin (@poojalakshmin ()) joins host Amanda (@amanda_montell ())
for this week’s brain-soothing discussion.
