Episode notes
Ontology Vs Psychology
- Gary John Bishop distinguishes ontology from psychology and says his work studies ways of being rather than clinical conditions.
- He warns that psychological labels echo but do not capture the ontological source of human experience.
Why The Label Misleads
- He argues the term "imposter syndrome" is misleading because 'imposter' implies deliberate deception and 'syndrome' implies disease.
- Language shapes being, so misnaming the experience keeps people stuck in unhelpful narratives.
Fear Of Exposure Is The Root
- He reframes 'imposter syndrome' as fear of exposure, not a trait you 'have.'
- The real background threat is that the self you hide might be revealed despite your qualifications.
