Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The fraud feeling shows up and I take it as private proof that I really am one
• When the team debriefs and credit gets handed around, I instantly downplay my part
• I carry the I’m-a-fraud feeling completely in secret because saying it out loud feels like it would confirm it
• I slipped once and now my whole head is going "see, you’re not really that person, why even bother"
• When I drop something or say the wrong name I freeze and pray nobody saw, but the frozen panic on my face makes it ten times more obvious

5. Identity Priming, Made Practical
   Identity priming is the finding that briefly activating a self-concept (e.g., "I am someone who values health") before a decision increases the chance of behavior consistent with that identity. Effects are real but modest and context-dependent; they are most reliable when the identity is already part of how you genuinely see yourself.
6. Normalize the blunder with a brief, light acknowledgment
   Naming a slip lightly and moving on defuses it faster than hoping no one noticed.
