So What Do You Do When You Feel Like an Imposter in Vision Therapy? You Train. You Learn. You Level Up.

In my last post, I asked a question many of us have carried quietly: “Have you ever felt like an imposter as a Vision Therapist?”

If that one hit a little too close to home, this post is the natural follow-up. Because here’s the truth… Feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong field.

It means you’re ready for your next level. One of the greatest gifts in Vision Therapy is that our knowledge, our confidence, and our clinical intuition aren’t fixed: They’re built. Developed and strengthened over time.

And the way you build them is through training. Not random videos. Not guesswork. Not hoping today’s patient doesn’t expose a gap in your understanding. You grow by seeking out structured, grounded, clinically proven education: the kind that turns uncertainty into clarity and “I hope this works” into “I know what I’m doing and why.”

Let me ask you this: When that parent sits across from you, or that teenager looks at you like you are the expert… wouldn’t it feel incredible to meet that moment with confidence instead of doubt? That’s what training, mentorship, and community do.

This is where VT 101 and VT 201 come in. These aren’t just courses; they are stepping stones, anchors, and confidence builders. They take that imposter-syndrome voice inside you and turn down the volume by replacing fear with competence.

Here’s how…

If Vision Therapy still feels like this mysterious ecosystem you’re trying to decode, the Vision Therapy Basics Course builds the scaffolding you’ve been missing. It gives you language, structure, order, and clarity. After this, the room no longer feels as intimidating, the patients don’t feel as unpredictable, and you don’t feel as lost. VT 101 = Foundation and framework. Your “I Belong Here.”

Once the foundations are there, the Advanced Vision Therapy Course teaches you to think clinically, not mechanically. You go from “doing activities” to designing therapy. This is where everything starts to click. Where imposter syndrome starts to wilt and you begin to feel like, “Okay… I’ve got this.” VT 201 = Clinical Upgrade. Your “Next-Level Vision.”

And just so we are clear, training doesn’t erase imposter syndrome; it replaces it! Not with arrogance or false bravado, but with earned confidence and knowledge that sits in your bones.

Here’s the part I want you to take with you: You’re not supposed to know everything. No one is! You’re just supposed to keep learning.

If my first post was the question…I hope this post is your answer.

Your future patients deserve the version of you who feels grounded, capable, and confident. And you deserve to step into that version of yourself.

The Vision Therapy Basics and Advanced Vision Therapy aren’t just courses. They’re the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. And if you ever need help figuring out which course fits your current path of learning, we are right here.
