Imposter syndrome is a troubling behavior that affects people who regard their success as accidental and express unhealthy doubts about their competence. despite its high occurrence, information and prevention tools are scarce. this theoretical essay aims to: broaden the understanding of the cognitive dimension of this syndrome in teachers and to highlight the emotional distress and negative self-image associated with it. the study also aims to raise awareness about this behavior and provide strategies for coping with the syndrome. this includes fostering rational thinking about teaching, reducing the need for external approval, setting more realistic performance expectations, and encouraging self-acceptance. understanding and addressing imposter syndrome is an important step toward promoting teachers' mental health and well-being and improving the educational environment.
