Practice in Action: Embracing the Imposter Within
Thursday, 5 February, 2026
Most mental health professionals have felt it at some point but rarely say it out loud: the fear that they don’t really belong, that they’re one mistake away from being exposed as a fraud. In this episode of the Psyched to Practice Podcast, Paul Wagner and Ray Christner unpack imposter syndrome as it shows up in clinicians across all stages of their careers. They explore why imposter syndrome is more common in thoughtful, conscientious professionals, how it often shows up during transitions and high-stakes moments, and why it’s not a diagnosis or a sign of incompetence. The conversation focuses on reframing imposter syndrome as a signal of growth rather than a flaw, the role of shame and silence in making it worse, and practical ways clinicians can respond when self-doubt creeps in. This episode offers normalization, perspective, and grounded strategies for clinicians who care deeply about their work and sometimes wonder if they’re doing it right.Brightminds AdPAR Ad To hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched" #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast
