Imposter Syndrome Workbook

I struggle with imposter syndrome and it's affecting my confidence, health, and career. Help me work through it.

My experience:
- Role: [YOUR ROLE]

- When it's worst: [E.G. MEETINGS WITH SENIOR PEOPLE, PRESENTING, NEW PROJECTS, REVIEWS]
- What my inner critic says: [WRITE THE ACTUAL THOUGHTS]
- What I avoid because of it: [WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DO YOU TURN DOWN]

Provide:
1. **Imposter Profile**: Help me identify which type of imposter syndrome I have (Perfectionist, Expert, Natural Genius, Soloist, Superhero)
2. **Evidence Inventory**: A structured exercise to collect proof that I'm actually competent
3. **Thought Challenging**: Take my specific inner critic statements and help me reality-test them
4. **Reframe Scripts**: New self-talk to replace imposter thoughts (not generic affirmations — specific to me)
5. **The Competence File**: How to build and maintain a record of wins, praise, and achievements
6. **Exposure Plan**: Gradual steps to do the things imposter syndrome makes me avoid
7. **Comparison Detox**: How to stop comparing my insides to everyone else's outsides
8. **Mentorship Conversation**: How to talk about imposter syndrome with a mentor or trusted colleague
9. **Physical Impact**: How imposter syndrome shows up in the body and what to do about it
10. **Maintenance Practice**: A monthly ritual to keep imposter syndrome in check

Tone: Validating but challenging. Help me see it clearly without dismissing my feelings.
