Imposta Syndrom
What triggered it?
I needed to write a job-profile for an offer. A friend and college wanted to include me in her offer and wanted me to write a profile that would be according to the job. She included me to a group, who are much more experienced in this field. She send me a mail with the profiles of the others (to give me an example about what they wrote)
How did I feel?
Lost, desperate, sad, overwhelmed, speachless
How did I behave?
I tried to write, sitting in front of a blanc page. Started scratching myself. Stand up, sat down again. Was close to tears. Compare myself and consider myself being incompetent.
Realize me doing other stuff to avoid touching it. Finally I asked my Love to help me and we made it.
What was the result?
I almost decided not to send a profile. Luckily I redecided and took all my energy and fighted the dragon (with the help). In the end I send it out with not reading it another time to prevent me from not sending it.

An interesting and well-mapped episode. Thanks for sharing and good job!
If you’d like to start venturing into the deeper work, you can begin exploring the why behind that trigger. What beliefs about reality and yourself did you hold that contributed to you feeling that way in that situation? Have fun!
