Burnout

Imposter syndrome doesn't mean the same thing for everyone. A clinical psychologist on why "fake it till you make it" lands flat for some people, and what shifts the feeling that no evidence can touch.

Burnout has become the dominant frame professional exhaustion. But the standard clinical framework (a mismatch between person and workplace) does not reach what walks into my consulting room wearing the label. What I see, more often, is an internal mismatch. Between who someone hoped to be and where they have found themselves.
