Exploring Self-Talk: Imposter Fears and Other Cognitive Distortions (Discussion)

We tell ourselves stories about what is happening to us and around us. In this discussion we will explore how our self-talk is generated and look at ways our self-talk can either help us be more resilient or how it can hurt us and hold us back. We will look at two important elements of our self-talk, cognitive distortions and imposter fears and explore ways to recognize internal messages and input from others that distorts our views of our abilities and accomplishments.
