After the Promotion Panic
Jordibenn
My coworker finally got promoted and confessed he nearly quit because the pressure made him second guess everything. Hearing that hit close to home since I just stepped into a bigger role and already feel like an imposter. People keep mentioning therapy like it is a secret tool. Can you recommend the benefits of talk therapy for confidence and stress?
That imposter feeling is brutal, I dealt with it when I switched to management last year. Talk therapy helped me untangle where those doubts actually came from (spoiler: childhood stuff I didn't even connect). It gives you a space to process stress without judgment and learn to challenge those negative thought loops. You start recognizing patterns and building actual coping skills instead of just white-knuckling through. Check out types of talk therapy  for the full rundown on benefits. My therapist helped me separate real feedback from my own catastrophizing. The confidence shift wasn't instant but after a few months I stopped spiraling every time something went wrong. Worth trying before burnout hits.
