Tracing the Roots of Self-Doubt with Larry Smiglewski

Therapist and Broadway Production Stage Manager Larry Smiglewski joins Imposter Hour to make imposter syndrome feel less heavy and more workable as we trace his path from teaching in the Bronx to calling cues on Broadway to supporting clients in the therapy room. We talk about the surprising ways our theater educations gave us lasting life lessons we still use every day, how becoming a therapist later in life gave Larry grounded wisdom and perspective, and simple ways to spot triggers, follow the thread of self-doubt, and remember you are actually qualified. We also tackle the age-old question with a smile: who is more challenging to work with, fifth graders or Broadway divas? Larry works with individuals, couples, and families at Equity Therapy in NYC and is the Production Stage Manager for Mamma Mia! on Broadway.
