In February, I had the opportunity to speak at the History Quill annual conference on the topic of imposter syndrome. I will admit, it was a difficult topic for me to address, and I ended up doing an immense amount of research, as well as running through the presentation with my therapist.

As part of my process for doing workshops, I always do several practice sessions, and this time, I recorded one of them! It is now available on YouTube.

This workshop delves into the definition of imposter syndrome and the nuances around what is not imposter syndrome, the symptoms of the condition and the dangers of imposter syndrome when gone unaddressed, as well as strategies for moving forward from imposter syndrome, including when to see a therapist. I also address the specific manifestation of imposter syndrome in writers, and why it is such a common phenomenon in our industry.

The workshop is roughly 45 minutes long.

Moving forward, I will be recording practice sessions for all of my workshops and posting them on YouTube (though it might take me a bit after the workshop to get it uploaded) to be available for free to anyone interested in watching. They are all lecture-style, and very similar to what you might expect attending a virtual workshop by me.

You can follow me on YouTube for automatic updates, and I will send out a short note here whenever I release a new one.
