CLAYTOGOLD™
REWIRING IMPOSTER SYNDROME TOOLKIT
Practitioner access: Downloads are for session delivery and assignments you share directly with clients. Clients do not access this library.
CLAYTOGOLD™ is a neuroscience-based practitioner toolkit that turns assessment insight into behaviour change. Use it to identify the client’s dominant protective strategy, interrupt the loop, regulate the threat response, and build new evidence through targeted action.
This is not a checklist. Your pacing, containment, and precision are what convert tools into transformation.
- Interrupt protective thought loops
- Regulate emotional and physiological activation
- Run behaviour experiments that create new evidence
- Reinforce wins so the new response holds under pressure
Outcome: pattern recognition plus response capacity, consistently.
Toolkit documents support interpretation, assignment decisions, and client orientation. Download them individually when you need a specific reference, or use the General Downloads Print Pack when you want everything in one printable file.
Awareness Building Activities (Days 1–30)
Goal: strengthen pattern recognition across all four systems before you prescribe system-specific rewiring.
PHASE 1
Golden Buddha and the Three Voices is a foundational awareness intervention. Use it early to establish shared language for the client’s internal experience under pressure and to reduce “protective fear = truth.”
Coaching intent: Identify the dominant voice, label it, interrupt it, regulate the body, re-anchor to facts, and select one next action.
System-Specific Rewiring Menus (Days 30–60)
Goal: target the client’s primary Neural Safety Behaviour™ with small, repeatable behaviour experiments.
PHASE 2
CONTROL
Goal: reduce over-functioning, perfection loops, and “I have to hold it all.”
Control clients don’t need more insight, they need proof that “less” doesn’t equal “unsafe.”
CONNECTION
Goal: stop trading self-respect for approval, build tolerance for tension.
Connection clients don’t need more empathy, they need the skill of staying steady while someone else is disappointed.
CERTAINTY
Goal: stop over-preparing and delaying, learn to move with “enough” clarity.
Certainty clients don’t need “more information,” they need repeated experiences of competence without perfect readiness.
SIGNIFICANCE
Goal: stop proving, stop chasing validation, strengthen internal ownership of value.
Significance clients don’t need bigger achievements, they need to let the truth land and stop disqualifying impact.
Reinforcement Menus (Days 60–90)
Goal:consolidate the new response so it holds under pressure, prevents relapse, and becomes identity-level.
PHASE 3
RELAPSE RECOVERY PROTOCOL
IDENTITY AUTOMATION
DECISION FILTER TO STOP FEAR-BASED EFFORT
INTEGRATION AND PROOF CAPTURE
REGULATION AS A STANDARD
Self-Coaching Resource
DSRP: Client Self-Coaching Map (Between session support)
Use this when you want the client to work through a triggered moment using the same prompts you’d run in session. It turns a spike into usable data for your next debrief.
What it helps your client do
-
Name the belief/story that just got activated
-
Expose the pattern underneath (assumptions, protective strategy, familiar “loop”)
-
Settle the nervous system so they can think clearly again
-
Reframe with accuracy, not forced positivity
-
Choose one aligned action that matches the leader they’re becoming
When to prescribe it
Use this as an “in-the-moment” tool when your client:
-
Spirals after feedback, a meeting, or a mistake
-
Falls into overpreparing, overperforming, perfectionism, or people-pleasing
-
Feels stuck between what they want and what fear is pushing them to do
-
Starts shrinking, delaying, or self-editing right before visibility
How to position it with your client (script)
“Between sessions, your brain will still try to protect you. That’s normal. This map gives you a way to coach yourself through the moment so you don’t make decisions from threat mode. Use it the same day something hits, even if you only complete the first half. We’ll review what you captured in our next session and build your plan from real data, not memory.”
