Relax…the phenomenon of “Imposter Syndrome” is fairly common, and we can tackle it. Affecting mainly women, it is often linked with anxiety or depression, and can lead to stress, burnout and fatigue. It can arise in friendships and relationships as well as within the work environment, and it can chip away at self-confidence and self-esteem. It can be linked to perfectionism or social anxiety
Solution focused hypnotherapy can help with addressing negative automatic thoughts and self-beliefs and by positively focusing on your achievements, your abilities and your self-confidence.
Takeaway Tip
If you are feeling that you are not good enough, challenge those beliefs – do you actually have evidence to support those beliefs? Remember…we all make mistakes…mistakes are a normal part of learning.
