Imposter syndrome can be a persistent feeling of inadequacy. Despite outward successes and achievements, individuals experiencing imposter syndrome challenge their abilities. This causes chronic unease and can hinder personal and professional growth.

They may be concerned that others will realize they are not as skilled as they appear. This may result in a cycle of self-criticism and difficulty in acknowledging accomplishments.

There's a sense of loss, a fear of the future. But within that resistance lies an opportunity for discovery.
