Therapy for the male-identifying individual feeling riddled with negative thoughts about themself, their capabilities, and who they are.

Therapy for: Imposter Syndrome & Shame

Struggling with Imposter Syndrome & Shame can look like:

  • Low self confidence, feeling “small”

  • Thinking- “who am I to deserve…”

  • Feeling “numb”, anxious, or detached from self or others

  • Sexual performance anxiety

  • Thinking “I’m a bad person” or “I’m not good enough”

  • Difficulty enjoying success

  • Allowing small mistakes to be proof of inadequacy

  • Addictive or compulsive behaviors as self-regulating strategy

In High-Profile Lives

  • Isolating physically, emotionally or sexually

  • Fear of being exposed as inadequate- at work, in close relationships, or sexually

  • Shame after sexual behaviors or other unwanted copping strategies

  • A sense that “the version of me they respect isn’t the whole story”

  • A sense that “If they really knew me, respect would turn into scrutiny”
