“I am a fraud.”
“I am not as smart or capable as people think I am.”
“I don’t deserve this.”
Successful and talented people sometimes believe they don’t deserve praise or rewards for their labor. Academic and professional accomplishments don’t feel like enough. We can place too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and may even feel like imposters. If you are experiencing these feelings, they can have a significant impact on your work and studies. Research shows that you are not alone! Approximately 56-82% of graduate students, college students, nurses, medical students, and other professionals experience symptoms of imposter syndrome.
The team at Momentum can help you understand how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions fuel this self-defeating cycle. Our therapists are committed to helping you regain confidence and pride. You are worthy of success!
