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

• When I try to reassure myself I’m actually good at this, I come up empty
• Even when something goes really well I brush it off as luck or good timing, so the win never actually counts toward believing in myself
• No matter how much I’ve actually pulled off, the second I face something new my mind goes blank on every success and floods with the times I fell short
• The instant I face something hard my mind serves up every time I’ve failed and quietly deletes all the times I pulled it off
• Something goes well and within minutes I’ve explained it all away
