Imposter syndrome

However much you achieve, the voice remains: «I got lucky, at some point they'll realise I don't deserve this». Imposter syndrome makes success anxious rather than fulfilling, and it's more common than you think.

What it looks like

You credit your successes to luck, not your ability; you fear being «exposed»; you overwork so you won't be «found out»; you struggle to enjoy what you've achieved. It often coexists with perfectionism and high anxiety.

Why it happens

It isn't linked to real incompetence, often highly capable people experience it. It stems from inner patterns and beliefs about worth, not from the reality of your performance.

How we work together

We bring the «imposter» voice into the light, work on the criteria by which you measure your worth, and you learn to internalise your successes rather than reject them. Success becomes something you can enjoy again.

What to expect

50-minute sessions, online or in person in Thessaloniki, in Greek or English. No commitment.

FAQ

Good to know

Isn't it just modesty?
Modesty doesn't hurt. Imposter syndrome makes you anxious, drains you and stops you enjoying things, that's where we make the difference.
Do only «insecure» people have it?
No. Very capable, successful people experience it; it's not a sign of weakness.
Does it go away completely?
The voice may appear now and then, but you learn not to believe it and not to let it drive you.
Can I work on it online?
Yes, just as effectively.
