The psychology behind why you may feel like a fraud – and how to break free of the mind trap.
Instant Genius is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. And in this episode, we explore overcoming imposter syndrome.
Do you ever feel like a fraud in your everyday life, and everyone’s about to find out you don’t really belong? If so, you’ve likely experience imposter syndrome – a pattern of self-doubt that persists despite all your accomplishments.
Why is it these feelings emerge? And can a person actually be cured of imposter syndrome? To answer these questions and much more, we’re joined by Dr Jessamy Hibberd, Clinical Psychologist and co-author of book The Imposter Cure: How to stop feeling like a fraud and escape the mind-trap of imposter syndrome.
