S6E7 Imposter Syndrome VEED

Описание: Have you ever landed the promotion, got the grades, published the paper – and instead of feeling proud, you felt queasy? As if someone was about to tap you on the shoulder and say, “Sorry, mistake – this wasn’t meant for you”?
In this Super Brain episode, psychologist and neuroscientist Sabina Brennan dives into the impostor phenomenon – the internal experience of feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence of your competence.
We’ll explore:
• Where impostor feelings come from – early family roles, perfectionism and high-pressure environments
• What’s happening in the brain’s threat detection and reward systems when you’re stuck in the impostor cycle
• Why it’s not just “in your head” – and how bias, exclusion and under-representation feed the story
• Three neuroscience-informed tools to help you feel you belong while you’re still learning
💡 By the end of the episode, you’ll be able to say:
Not “I am a fraud” but “I’m having an impostor moment – and my brain is trying to keep me safe.”
