  Is Imposter Syndrome Ruining Your Potential as a Student? It’s estimated at least 80% of the general population experiences imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.   Have you ever aced an exam, only to feel like a fraud?

  You spend more time working than doing almost anything else — which means how you feel at work matters more than most people realize. When job dissatisfaction builds up, it can impact: • your mental health • your relationships • your sleep • your motivation • and even your physical well-being. Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like feeling emotionally checked out, constantly exhausted, irritable, anxious before Monday, or wondering why you no longer feel like yourself. Job satisfaction isn’t about loving every moment of your career. It’s about feeling valued, supported, challenged in healthy ways, and aligned with the life you want to build. If work has started affecting your emotional well-being, therapy can help you better understand what’s happening — and what needs to change. https://pvdpsych.com/job-satisfaction/ #MentalHealth #JobSatisfaction #BurnoutRecovery #WorkStress #Therapy #ProvidenceRI #CBT #DBT #MentalWellness #PVDPsych #AnxietySup...
