Defectiveness, Shame, & Approval-Seeking (Scheme Part 5): Episode 232
Episode: Defectiveness, Shame & Approval-Seeking
In the finale of our schema therapy series, we unpack the two schemas behind physician imposter syndrome — the fear that we're one mistake from being exposed, and the need for everyone's approval to feel okay. We talk about how these patterns form, how medicine reinforces them, the difference between shame and clean accountability, and four steps toward healing.
