Do you recognize this? In your mind, you know exactly what your strengths are and what you are capable of – yet internally it doesn’t truly feel real. Accepting praise is difficult, and somewhere there remains the worry that others might soon realize that their positive impression is misleading.
This form of cognitive distortion is often referred to as the “imposter syndrome”: an uncomfortable inner conflict that prevents many people from showing their full potential in school or professional life.
However, coaching offers effective methods to not only recognize your own abilities rationally, but also to accept them emotionally. Step by step, this makes it possible to truly believe positive feedback – and to feel happy about it instead of questioning it with suspicion.
This works surprisingly well and quickly, both in person and online.
