Trauma, childhood emotional abuse, childhood neglect, and narcissistic abuse can impact our development from children into adults. Often with these experiences, we feel like a fraud or have "imposter syndrome" because we were not validated when we were younger. Maybe we feel unworthy of our calling or we don't feel worthy of the good things in our lives. Every one of us feels this way from time to time, but it can be debilitating if we experience it all the time.
This video explains in more detail why many of us have imposter syndrome, why our imposter syndrome is a lie, and why it seems like other people have it together (secret: they don't!). This video discusses why we need to teach ourselves what God thinks of us and why we often need to move forward and push through the fear and doubt when we're called to do something, even if we don't feel worthy. The video then includes specific actions you can take, what you can tell yourself, and solutions you can try to overcome and cope with imposter syndrome.
