Let’s cut to the chase: Imposter Syndrome is a liar. You know the voice—it whispers (or shouts) that you’re not good enough, that you’re a fraud, and that at any moment, someone’s going to figure it out. And if you’ve ever felt this way, especially in your career, know this: you’re not alone.

Imposter syndrome is rampant among high achievers, especially in high-pressure work environments. And no matter how accomplished you are, those sneaky feelings of self-doubt can creep in and sabotage your confidence. But here’s the good news: EFT Tapping can help you break the cycle of self-doubt and reclaim your inner badass.

In this post, I’m going to show you how EFT Tapping can help you overcome imposter syndrome and start showing up as your true self—without the constant fear of being “found out.” 

If you need a step-by-step guide to EFT Tapping itself, check out my Beginner’s Guide to EFT Tapping. But for now, let’s dive into how tapping can kick imposter syndrome to the curb.

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Imposter syndrome is that persistent fear that you don’t deserve your success—that you’ve somehow tricked everyone into thinking you’re more capable than you are. It’s the nagging feeling that you’ve "gotten lucky" and any moment, someone’s going to pull back the curtain and expose you as a fraud.

But here’s the thing: Imposter syndrome doesn’t reflect reality. It’s a fear-based mindset that feeds on self-doubt and past insecurities. And guess what? That fight-or-flight response you feel when you’re deep in the imposter spiral? It’s your amygdala firing off like a faulty alarm. That’s where EFT Tapping comes in.

How EFT Tapping Calms Imposter Syndrome

EFT Tapping helps disrupt the emotional and physical reactions that imposter syndrome triggers. It’s not just about thinking positive thoughts or trying to convince yourself you’re good enough—tapping rewires your brain so that self-doubt doesn’t control you.

Here’s how:

• Calming the Fear Response: When imposter syndrome strikes, your brain shifts into survival mode. EFT Tapping helps calm your nervous system by reducing the intensity of your amygdala’s fight-or-flight response, which is responsible for those gut-wrenching feelings of inadequacy.

• Rewiring Negative Thoughts: Imposter syndrome is a pattern—your brain is used to jumping straight into negative self-talk. By tapping while focusing on these feelings, you’re teaching your brain a new way to respond. It’s like hitting the reset button on self-doubt.

• Releasing Old Beliefs: Often, imposter syndrome stems from past experiences—whether it’s something someone said to you years ago or a fear that’s been festering for ages. EFT Tapping helps release those old emotional blocks so they stop triggering you in the present.

Imposter Syndrome at Work: Where EFT Tapping Fits In

Now, let’s get specific—imposter syndrome at work. For so many of us, work is where the imposter monster really shows up. Maybe you’re the only woman in the boardroom, or you’ve just landed a big promotion and feel like you don’t deserve it. Whatever the trigger, EFT Tapping can help you reframe those situations.

In my Reset Your Stress program, I work with clients to address these exact challenges. Whether it’s crushing self-doubt before a big presentation or battling that constant feeling of being “not enough,” EFT helps calm the nerves and gets you into a state of clarity and confidence.

The beauty of EFT is that it’s practical. You can tap before a nerve-wracking meeting, after a tough feedback session, or whenever those feelings of inadequacy pop up. And the more you use it, the more you’ll start to see a shift in how you show up at work.
