Imposter Syndrome is notoriously common but not often discussed. During this session, we will review the meaning and history behind this phenomenon. We’ll also discuss contributing factors to this experience along with coping mechanisms that may help. The goal of the session is to be vulnerable about a shared experience in order to both facilitate and normalize these kinds of discussions.
