It can be hard to feel like a fraud or that you’re not good enough or smart enough, despite all your successes. Imposter syndrome affects many people. It is the feeling of not measuring up and being inadequate despite evidence to the contrary.
Art therapy can help you process those feelings, gain insights and foster self-awareness and self-compassion. Through the therapeutic process, imposter feelings and thoughts can be challenged to make room for a more confident sense of self.
