>From your original message I wondered if you think that the work you do is
ineffective on a daily basis or from time to time. A woman I work with
calls it: "imposter syndrome" when a health practitioner thinks they really
don't know what they are doing. I get this as a passing feeling sometimes
once every couple of months where I notice that I am thinking such thoughts
as: they are paying me for this, I don't have a clue what I am doing, if
they knew how little I know then. . . Sometimes I feel like I am flying by
the seat of my pants and other days when I am more rational I think I have
quite a large base of working knowledge that is so well integrated that I
don't even know how much I know. Of course there is always more to learn
and to research. In both large and small ways I think I am making a
difference in the kids I work with because I see changes especially when
children first begin intervention. Is it possible you may be suffering from
burnout? I am not a diagnostician, but thinking what you do is ineffective
can be a sign. Just a thought. . .
