Do you ever feel that you take amazing leaps forward sometimes but then feel yourself pull back, your voice silenced within you. It’s as if you shrink back inside your safe comfort zone of discontent overpowered by a self-deprecating and inescapable inner voice; sometimes it whispers - and sometimes it shouts.... always, nagging away that you are never quite enough!

In the days when I worked in Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs and in Diplomatic Translation and Interpreting at the Spanish Embassy, I was consumed by Imposter Syndrome.? I was really good at my job, and on the outside I appeared to be super confident, yet I doubted myself and battled with debilitating anxieties at every turn! It took an emotional breakdown

More than ever before, female leaders

So why is this? And how can Imposter Syndrome be overcome once and for all?
?
Having worked with thousands of clients, I can safely say that usually the feeling of ‘not being enough’ can be traced back to childhood emotional trauma and the lasting impact of emotional wounds.? Early years' experiences and how we make sense of our relationships lays the foundation for how we see ourselves.? A child’s perception is egocentric. This means she blames herself as a way to make sense of the emotional confusion or overwhelm she feels which is caused by adult neglect, overburden of responsibility, emotional distance or any other form of abuse. She tells herself, mostly without being aware, that it simply has to be her fault and that she must be inadequate in some way. ?

Recognising and understanding the connection between present day feelings of inadequacy and past emotional wounding is a crucial step towards healing. It allows you finally to set yourself free from those chains of past emotional trauma. ?When you heal your buried emotional wounds and adopt the right mentoring strategies
