'Fight-flight-freeze is a primitive survival instinct that results in instant hormonal and physiological changes — and people with high levels of rejection sensitivity are especially prone to experiencing this response.'
Giving good feedback is hard — especially when the person receiving it suffers from Impostor Syndrome, which makes them inordinately sensitive to anything they may perceive as criticism. Impostors’ mental and emotional boundaries are not sufficiently strong, so they internalize and often take personally and overreact to critical feedback.
But it didn’t stop there. The VP’s remarks nagged at Jana for weeks, causing her to question whether she was really qualified and deserving of her position at the company. Jana’s reaction to the VP’s feedback in the meeting was first flight, then freeze. When she created the exit she needed , she went into flight mode and immediately left the room. After that, she went into a paralyzing freeze mode by never meeting with the VP, thus missing out on the potential benefits and valuable insights his feedback could have provided.
You might say something like, “I’d like to check in with you on your project to review your progress, offer support, and provide feedback. Is now a good time?”Giving them control helps to put impostors more at ease because many aren’t quite sure where they stand with you or with the team. Asking for permission is a step that acknowledges that their work matters and reassures them that you just want to check in to be on the same page.
Give your feedback Assuming your impostor-prone employee is self-aware, it is likely that you will agree with much of her assessment and not have too much to add. You may even see opportunities to highlight and provide positive feedback in areas where they are overly self-critical to help boost her confidence and counteract her perfectionism.
