I take heart in the fact that enough people feel that way for it to have become a named syndrome.<BR/><BR/>That said, I would like to point out that I have previously chastised you for doing yourself down. Like many teachers, you seem to yourself as "<I>Just</I> a teacher..."<BR/><BR/>Tell me, when you phone home and your wife answers the phone, do you say "It's only me"? Only the most important person in her life. Only the person she has chosen to spend the rest of her life with.<BR/><BR/>I know from experience that none of this is going to change the self-doubt you feel. But we need to stop repeating these subliminal message from us... which is kinda weird coming from me, since I roll my eyes at NLP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-42578683507696487872008-08-02T13:11:00.000+01:002008-08-02T13:11:00.000+01:00And here I was thinking I was the only one that fe...And here I was thinking I was the <A HREF="http://gwegner.edublogs.org/2007/04/14/makes-sense-to-me/" REL="nofollow">only one</A> that felt this way.Graham Wegnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303319509348129453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-18773869347670509362008-07-28T13:04:00.000+01:002008-07-28T13:04:00.000+01:00Beautiful Karyn.

One thing, I would like to share. It is possible to break the conditioning and start thinking that we do deserve things and praises. A very relevan issue but often ignored. You are a brave woman, brought it out and sorted it out wow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-4362105439052881642008-07-26T13:21:00.000+01:002008-07-26T13:21:00.000+01:00@artichoke What a harrowing story and how well it ...@artichoke What a harrowing story and how well it reflects what I was saying. I have a personal testimony as well - nowhere near as gutwrenching, but I'm afraid that it would come across as too 'bring on the violins' so I'll spare you the details.<BR/><BR/>@nindah Thanks for the link.

I used to think mine was due to my dyslexia but now I'm not so sure. Pressure of being felt to under-perform is certainly part of it.
