[@iuliagheban313]

I love how your videos feel like having an incredebly insightful conversation with a friend! Impostor Syndrom is part of my daily life, so I love seeing clear strategies about how to deal with it best. I can't wait to see your next videos!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

That is the best compliment I could hope for. Thank you!!!!

[@MphoenixE]

[@hannahtruscott]

love your take on this!! : )

[@hannahtruscott]

PS. that dress is beautiful

[@alaskaaunicorn767]

Love the bloopers, please keep sharing these 🤣 LOVE this topic, Therese! Impostor syndrome really plagues so many professionals who are more than intelligent and capable of not only doing but succeeding at what they're doing. 💕 We all need these reminders shared here.

“Build a life you don’t need a vacation from.” I love this ❤️

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Me too!! Glad you love it as well ☺️

[@haydenfinch8285]

So much info packed into such a short video! I never really thought about imposter syndrome outside of the academic or professional world. That was a lightbulb moment for me!

[@abiowens4431]

So good, I definitely suffer from imposter syndrome. Such good points!! Love this.

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Don’t we all! Thanks for commenting!

[@TalktheStreets]

Imposter syndrome is the wooooooooorst but also so real. I have been trying to be more gracious accepting praise and not belittle the things I do but its so hard! P.S. You are beautiful

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Literally all the amazing women I know have experienced this the most! And thank youuuu

[@rosannalopes]

I love this! I need to rewatch this whenever I feel that I'm not competent enough!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Thank youuu! Comforting to know a badass like you can feel it too. Truly we aren’t alone!

[@nowplusone1317]

You are one inspiring lady!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Appreciate your kind words!

[@PrivatePracticeSkills]

Therese! Yes to this! Thank you for speaking to this and I am loving your channel! 🙌

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Thank you Marieeeee I’m your biggest fan 🤓

[@lindsayrenee01]

This was a video recommended by Marie Fang. So glad I tuned in. You put a name to and offered tools for overcoming what so many feel. I’m a subscriber now. You go girl!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Lindsay thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to sharing an encouraging word. You made my day! 🙏🏼

[@editescoelho]

Parabéns pelo Canal Thérese! Excelent

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Obrigadissima Edite!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@arihahn136]

I came here via Marie Fang and I am glad I did. This is wonderful. I have a (small) list of clinicians that I will share this with. Thanks!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Ari thank you so much for your support! Grateful for your presence here 🙏🏼

[@Joolieification]

It’s so surprising to see who has suffered from this, they always come across as confident and accomplished

[@patriciaonofre7294]

Insightful and very well explained!!! 👌

[@DrThereseMascardo]

I’m so glad you think it’s clear! Thanks for your comment ☺️

[@oliviabentan1771]

Loved the - be okay with receiving praise step. I know that changing our mental dialogue helps a ton, but somehow this steps seems easier to do 😅 great tip as always. Such an 'accomplishment' bloopers 🤪

[@DrThereseMascardo]

So many of us struggle to receive praise because we were taught not to. Hoping this changes!

[@joneconde3006]

This is so useful!!!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

So glad you found it useful Jone!

[@Arianagizycko]

Loved the added quotes and clear structure of your video. 😊 Could you sometime do a video on how to deal with people who have the opposite of imposter syndrome? 🙈 As in Fyre Festival organizers and such. 😬

[@DrThereseMascardo]

I think you’re referring to narcissists? And yesssss

[@ANNAKAZBERUK]

Another great video. I definitely feel like a failure sometimes. How can I be PR in the international corporation if I speak English with an accent?! I know I am good at my job but sometimes is so difficult to stop these thoughts. I love how you finished the video. I feel positive about the future 😌😉 Many thanks, Therese.

[@DrThereseMascardo]

I know so many people who feel like impostors because they have an accent of some sort. Accents just mean you’re a badass that speaks another language! Congrats! 🎉

[@kellyblakely5955]

The bloopers are entertaining. I had no idea what imposter syndrome was, so your concrete examples were helpful in explaining what it is. I never knew that Jennifer Lopez experience imposter syndrome.

[@DrThereseMascardo]

So glad you enjoyed the bloopers 🤣 yeah even Queen Jlo has felt it so honestly if you’ve felt it too you’re in good company!

[@kimcarrots]

I find that from time to time, in my work as a therapist, I feel like I bring out the razzamatazz with clients. I feel like I have to work VERY hard, know everything, give tips and techniques by the dozens. When I feel this way I know it's my imposter syndrome rearing it's ugly head! I put a sign up "I am enough" so that during the session I remember I am! Thank you for this video (and all the work you do!)

[@DrThereseMascardo]

I can completely relate! And I absolutely LOVE the sign idea, I may have to borrow that from you. It’s brilliant!

[@marissangephart]

Love your hair!!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

💛💛💛

[@atennisgrl]

that fly!! haha Love this, super informative

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Hahaha damn those flies! 🤣

[@delynndellarosa9997]

Thank you! I graduated a month ago from grad school with a masters in counseling. I am struggling with this.

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Those are some challenging times in our professional growth- wishing you continued confidence in your training and skills 💪🏼

[@Стахова]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@johnmascardo7047]

An eye opener. Thank you ❤️

[@BONKERS999_]

We'll see about that..

[@Jc-do5xg]

Nixon: I am *not* an imposter

[@helensarver6690]

I think I may have this but mine has caused such extreme anxiety that I couldn’t hold a job for a long time.

[@AerynKDesigns]

I seem to basically live in imposter syndrome. I have very little confidence or self esteem and I'm very insecure so feeling like I'm capable at literally anything is hard. Growing up I was constantly told I was an unreliable narrator, even for things in my own life, so it's difficult to have any belief in the way I see/experience the world around me, and thus how anyone may see/experience me as a person or my skills.

[@aurbeyy]

Well see about that..

[@Melanated_never_duplicated01]

Jlo is right to feel like that coz she is a famous singer while she can’t even sing. The imposter syndrome is understandable! Her vocals aren’t hers!!

[@MrMdiaz84]

That’s all you got from such an amazing video, you chose to hate on a successful woman who minds her business. If he wasn’t talented she wouldn’t be where she is. Do better

[@Melanated_never_duplicated01]

@ I didn’t say she is not successful and I am not hating on her! I am stating facts! Hers vocals aren’t all hers!she needs others people to make her a great vocalist!
