Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk

8. Who Let Me In Here? — Unpacking Impostor Syndrome


Listen Later

Ever felt like a fraud—even with the degrees, experience, and glowing reviews to back you up? In this episode, we unpack impostor syndrome—what it is, how it shows up (especially in helping professions), and what it really takes to move through it.


We’re getting real about:

  • Therapist panic moments (aka: “I have no idea what I’m doing”)

  • The pressure to be everything in therapy culture

  • Why social media feeds our comparison trap

  • Personal stories of awkward, hilarious, and painfully human moments as therapists

  • Tools to challenge impostor thoughts (hello, imposter monster 👋)


Whether you’re a therapist, creative, student, or just human, this episode is for anyone who's ever thought, “They’re going to realize I don’t belong here.”


✨You’re not failing—you’re just growing. And yes, you do belong here.
