💡He didn’t look like someone who struggled with imposter syndrome.
🔸️Senior director at a major asset management firm. Sharp, composed, always prepared. The kind of leader who stayed late triple-checking numbers; not because he had to, but because he couldn’t not.
◽️He was rewriting his team’s reports, correcting small details, answering questions before anyone else had the chance to speak. At first, he thought it was just high standards. But in our work together, we uncovered something deeper.
✨️He wasn’t leading - he was managing his anxiety.
🔸️That habit of overexplaining and jumping in to fix everything? It was his way of staying safe. If he could control the outcome, he didn’t have to face the fear that he wasn’t enough.
◽️What we did in hypnotherapy wasn’t about changing his personality. We worked with the part of him that equated control with credibility. That part had been trying to protect him for a long time.
🔸️Over time, his system started to relax. He stopped rushing to fill silence. He let his team lead. And something shifted; people listened more when he said less. He didn’t just look like a leader anymore. He felt like one.
And he didn’t need to micromanage to prove it.
