How do I get over "imposter syndrome"?
I'm dealing with imposter syndrome in graduate school.  I know that by all accounts I am a phenomenal graduate student, and that I am well-published.  I am well liked by students and faculty alike.  And yet I cannot shake the feeling that I'm going to be found out as a fraud. 

How can I get over this feeling?

<p>First step is to remove the label of your behavior as a syndrome and instead understand the reasons for it.</p><p>"Imposter syndrome" sounds like a name someone made up to write a book and have lots of people buy it bc it gives the feeling they know themselves by calling themselves this name.</p><p>Instead, consider your own unique qualities including your fears of being recognized as adding value to people's lives.</p><p>If you were told growing up that you're worthless, or if your chosen career goes against family advice and expectations, or if you simply are a shy person, then these would be the starting points to understand your reluctance to believe in yourself.</p><p>The more you understand yourself and trust the truths you find as to who you are, the less you will feel fraudulent.</p><p>Good luck in your career work!</p>
