212. The psychology of self doubt

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Our self doubts are what is keeping us in our own way. It is the foundation for our inner critic to tell us: you're not good enough, you're not talented enough, intelligent beautiful, hardworking to have the life and success you want. When we let our self doubts take control, it often means that we end up self handicapping or sabotaging before we get to the start line. In today's episode we are going to talk about the psychology of self doubt and how to silence those false beliefs, including: 

  • The origin of false beliefs in childhood experiences
  • The impact of bullying on adult identity 
  • Overcoming failure and setbacks 
  • Imposter syndrome + self sabotage 
  • The power of a persona + the batman effect 
  • Doubting your own doubts 
  • Asking 'why not you?', and so much more
