Reframing Impostor Syndrome as Self-Deficiency Syndrome

Reframing Impostor Syndrome as Self-Deficiency Syndrome

Impostor Syndrome needs a major reframe. It’s actually the tip of the Self-Deficiency iceberg hiding deeper issues of shame & unenoughness below. Self Leadership Coaching offers a compassionate trauma-informed approach.

If you’re feeling that impostor feeling – it means you’re not in Self. You’re back to being a vulnerable kid again. When you recognize that a wounded part of you is scared and struggling, and your go-to strategies are to push yourself harder or run for the hills, it’s time to stop and reconnect – it’s time to give yourself the kind of love, compassion and acceptance you may never have gotten growing up.

It’s Time We Talk About Trauma

What is Trauma & what does it have to do with Coaching? Without understanding it & working on healing it in ourselves, we have a high chance of perpetuating it in others, including our clients.

Informed and trauma-wise coaches are more sensitive to what’s really driving a person’s agenda (goals for coaching), and instead of being an accomplice, they can be a compassionate messenger and a gentle guide.  Being informed is not enough – being wise means we act from our knowledge with virtues like compassion and courage.
