Uncovering the Truth About Impostor Syndrome

Do you ever feel like a fake or like you're not good enough?  Do you sometimes fear that people will "find out you don't know what you're doing" even though you're educated? This is called "Impostor Syndrome."

Have you ever struggled with feeling that you're not good enough or that you don't know enough, and you're afraid people will find out? If so, you may be suffering from Impostor Syndrome.

Impostor Syndrome affects many people, including many coaches, hypnotherapists, and NLP practitioners.

It's the fear of being exposed as a fraud or the fear that people will find out you don't know as much as they think you should. It can have a huge impact on your work and your life. In this article, we'll uncover the truth about Impostor Syndrome and see how NLP and hypnotherapy can help you to address it.

The "Secret" Story of How NLP Was Invented (That No One Wants to Talk About)

A Homeless Man Sleeps in the Back of a Denny's Restaurant...

Most people assume he's a dirty menace. He's kicked out in the middle of the night because he doesn't have enough money for a cup of coffee.

They don't realize the impossible downward spiral he's stuck in that put him there. They don't know that, even though he is homeless, he cleans and grooms himself every day in a locked Del Taco bathroom and washes his clothes at the laundromat with the precious little money he has to keep his sanity so he doesn't slip down the rabbit hole of becoming a "bum." They don't realize the support of his family and friends has run out (or at least he thinks it has).

They don't know him and they don't want to. Would you want to know him?

The Five Second Rule: An NLP Perspective

There has been a lot of talk lately about “the five second rule,” the subject of a book and media campaign by Mel Robbins.

The premise is that your brain is your enemy when it comes to success and achievement, so you have to "trick it" to be good at anything.

The author explains how procrastination and apathy caused her life to spiral out of control – a failing marriage, a career she hated, etc. – and the only thing that turned it around and “fixed” her life was counting down backward from five and taking action the second she gets to zero.
