Good Camille Hunting — Imposter Syndrome (with therapist Dr. Bini Sebastian)

Camille LeDuc, a sophomore at Las Positas College in Livermore, Calif., takes a journey into her life and her mind to get some answers about matters she's been wrestling with for years. Good Camille Hunting is the result of her no longer wanting to give in to self-esteem issues, so she set out to find the best parts of herself by tearing down walls that fear and disbelief have erected.

In the first of four episodes, Camille, 20, examines imposter syndrome by vulnerably discussing her own inward battles. Will she ever be good enough? Why does it seem other people have it together, and she's so far behind? The deep dive leads to a search for answers — for her and others like her. She interviews Dr. Bini Sebastian, a senior staff psychologist at UC Berkeley in student mental health. They discuss the realities of imposter syndrome, some causes and solutions, giving Camille the understanding she needs to deal with her lingering doubt.
