Session 302: The Truth About Imposter Syndrome & Perfectionism
The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
Have you ever felt like a total fraud? Maybe you’ve questioned whether or not you belong? Or fear that you’re not deserving? I definitely have and so has our guest for today’s episode, Licensed Psychologist Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin. During our conversation Dr. Lisa and I break down what exactly imposter syndrome is, why and how self sabotage might show up unannounced to the party that is your life, and why claiming to be a “perfectionist” is not the flex you think it is.
