Last week I had an amazing client who's been practicing her profession with over 20 years, with over 12 successful years in private practice. While prepping to launch an online course fear has arisen around being seen and putting herself out there. After her answering a few questions it was clear she had imposter syndrome, a state where limiting beliefs (often unconscious) inside of us make us doubt ourselves and our abilities, regardless of evidence.
As these beliefs generally stem from childhood, I guided my client back to the 4 year old her. We began the process of reparenting that little one to release those olds beliefs. I also had her begin practicing mirror affirmations to start actively changing neural pathways. This work doesn't happen overnight but I'm guiding her step by step.
