Overcoming the imposter phenomenon. Working with clients of color
Description
One particular psychological experience that people of color and other marginalized groups often feel is called "the imposter phenomenon" - a psychological experience that occurs amoung high achievers who are unable to internalize and accept their success. They often attribute their accomplishments to luck, rather than ability, and fear that others will eventually unmask them as a fraud. Marica Liu describes the imposter phenomenon, how it presents itself in therapy, and how to effectively work with it. Dr. Liu works with Precious - a Filipina graduate student who comes into therapy with general feelings of stress, sleeplessness, and worry. Dr. Liu skillfully opens up a dialogue about race dynamics and help her client recognize the external factors that are impacting her mental health. Marcia Liu received her Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Boston College where she focused on the mental health experiences of racial and ethnic minorities. She currently works as a clinician at the New School's Student Health Center in New York City, and at the Veteran's Affairs Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. Dr. Liu holds a small private practice and additionally teaches in the Asian American Studies program at Hunter College.
