I felt like this after my first job where I wrote Java and Perl for three years before moving to a full-stack position that was heavy on JS.
What helped the most was building numerous hobby apps in node and thousands of leetcode questions. A book or a course was somewhat helpful, only in reference and second to the api docs. I would answer them with es6 trying to make full use of the spec. I did this for 5 months answering 3-4 a day until the medium and hard questions became easy.
