Description

Imposter syndrome. The legacy of a lifetime of societal messages telling BIPOC they don’t belong. That their accomplishments were only the result of quotas. That they’ll never be good enough. The result? They turn up in your office anxious, depressed and burnt out at work and home. View Dr. Lillian Gibson for this unique recorded session and discover how culture, stress and self-doubt impact even the most outwardly successful BIPOC clients, and what we can do as therapists to help them reconnect with a true sense of their incredible talents and value!
