Setting unrealistic high standards is a possible indicator of imposter syndrome in clinicians

It comes with that need to do more or be more 📈

And when you find yourself not attaining those standards, you end up feeling guilt and shame 😔

This is a classic sign of imposter syndrome, and if unchecked, can lead to burnout🔥

You don't have to do or be more than what you already are 💛

You are enough! 💙

You know that voice that tells you everyone else has it figured out? 🤔

That you're falling behind? Not doing enough? 😰

It's lying.

Your journey doesn't need to look like anyone else's.

Not the highlight reel you see online, not your colleague's path, not what you think you "should" be doing.

Focus on YOUR wins. YOUR progress. YOUR timeline. ⏰

Because you are enough! ✨

Have you ever given a patient or client an exercise or practice… and they come back having not done it?

Rather than assuming they’re “not trying”, it’s worth getting curious. 🤔

A gentle conversation can uncover so much:

✨ Was there an unconscious positive intention behind not doing it?
✨ Did it feel threatening or overwhelming in some way?
✨ Was the exercise not linked to something meaningful or enjoyable for them? (If they love gardening, can the exercise support them getting back into the garden)?
✨ If it was a recording - was it the pace, tone, music (or lack of it) that didn’t quite land?

When this happens, it’s never a dead end.
It’s an opportunity to explore what can work and to collaborate more effectively together - with compassion at the centre. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏿

Often, imposter syndrome creeps in after a past mistake. 😔

A mistake that may not necessarily be your fault, but it succeeded in knocking your confidence.

But, confidence doesn't build from getting it right every time. 💡

It grows when you notice, reflect, and learn - instead of beating yourself up.

It's ok to be aware of growth areas. But start by acknowledging what you're doing well...
✅ How you're showing up even when it feels hard
✅ The patients whose lives you've impacted
✅ The things you're getting done

Shifting your focus from your mistake to the positive things you're doing helps build your confidence. 🔁

Then, if there’s been a mistake, create a plan for how to do things differently next time, or reach out to a peer or clinician coach to talk through, and grow further.

Most importantly, remember you are enough. 💙

What happens if you grip a wet bar of soap too tightly?

Yup - it slips away from your grasp. 🧼

Most people living with persistent pain naturally see a clinician with one goal: “I just want this pain gone.” 🚫

But when the whole focus becomes getting rid of the pain or achieving a single big goal (like “I want to walk for an hour”), it often ends up feeling just like that bar of soap.

The harder you try and grasp it, the further away it slips away.

What can help is:

1. 🔍🔎 Shifting the focus from "pain-free" to a values based goal - what matters in life. And that's different for each person.

Maybe it's a walk around the park, meeting friends and being able to sit more comfortably, being able to do more gardening.

2. 🔎 Focusing on the next mini-goal on that path and small actions towards the mini-goal (not the bigger goal).

And it may start small:
A minute of activity.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
A small change.
A small bit of feedback.
Adjusting.

Keeping focus on actions rather than outcomes.

☝🏾NOTE: No success/failure scorecard.

Just information to work with and that movement towards the things that matter (and that path may not be straight).

And any action more than nothing can be a win. ⭐

Holding the bigger goal lightly.

Focusing on each action.

Feedback as an opportunity to learn and adjust.

Breathing and continuing on the path.

One small step or movement at a time. 👣

Two things can be true at once.

I’ve got a double infection here - and yet, standing by Loch Lomond, I felt the deepest joy. 🥹😍

Being unwell and happy can exist side by side.
Pain and peace.
Challenge and contentment.

When our minds focus only on what’s hard, we can miss the small moments that lift us - even briefly. I'm not saying it's easy - just see what you can become aware of as you tune in, widen your focus or reflect.

☀️ The warmth of the sun
🐦‍⬛Birdsong
☕The smell of coffee

They don’t take away what may be difficult in the moment, but they can sit alongside it. 😊

What we show - or what we value - on the surface can look like strength, professionalism, or care.

⬇️ But underneath can sit the beliefs that fuel imposter syndrome.

Competence. Worth. Success. Help. Knowing. Visibility. Comparison. Mistakes.

🔍 Each can carry a hidden layer - perfection, performance, luck, weakness, threat, proof…

Noticing the behaviours fueled by underlying limiting beliefs can help you see why you may at times overwork, avoid asking for help, compare yourself to others, struggle to pause, or feel enough - and create space to respond differently.

Awareness isn’t always comfortable, but it’s where the work towards growth begins. 🌱

Remember, your value is not tied to your performance - your presence matters more than your productivity.

👻 A little Halloween reflection (literally)…

After yesterday’s reel on dropping into the body during reflective practice, a few clinicians reached out asking if I had a reflective practice template.

Yes - I do! You can download it via the link in my bio 🪞🏃🏾‍♀️‍➡️💙

It's a great way to wrap up the week.

18/09/2025

🎉 Yesterday I celebrated 50 revolutions around the sun 🌍☀️

I’m taking the rest of the week off to spend quality time with loved ones ❤️ and all work apps have been removed from my phone (yes, I’m strict with boundaries 😅).

While I’m away, my brilliant team member Julius is keeping an eye on Instagram.

He’s recovering from being seriously unwell, so I’ve been clear that he too prioritises self-care first. 🌱

Self-care matters. Boundaries matter.🧘🏾‍♀️💙

And fun matters too! 🎂💃🏾

It’s easy to get the wrong idea about EMDR therapy - especially when all people hear is "eye movements" 👀 or "quick fix" 🪄.

I made this post to clear up common myths I hear all the time - especially if you're a clinician.

✨EMDR isn’t magic.
🧩It’s not just for trauma.
🧘‍♀️It’s not something to DIY on a Sunday afternoon.

In a trauma memory or freeze moment, things don’t get stored as a full story.

Instead a memory can be fragmented - bits of emotion, awareness, and missing pieces.

Something that needed to happen didn’t happen.

EMDR helps bring those fragments together, allowing your nervous system and mind to process and reprocess them fully.

We start by using personalised somatic momvements to build and strengthen your inner resources - especially those you may not have felt you had in the old trauma, Freeze or Flop moment.

Then, if needed, side-to-side movements can be used (which can bring safety and calm the amygdala), to shift your body out of Hyperarousal or Hypoarousal into into safe mode, or a state of feeling you have agency.

We go at a pace with which you feel comfortable, safe or calm. 🛟
