The Psychology of Selves: Beyond Imposter Syndrome

This workshop is part of the IRENE Workshop Series "Surviving to Thriving in Academia".

Many people are torn - afraid to speak up, be seen, or minimise their achievements and at the same time, are frustrated that they are getting in their own way. Feeling like you will be exposed to not know enough and being your own worst critic is a toxic combination. It can result in procrastination, individualism, and ruminating thoughts.

• Learn the three layers of imposter syndrome, where these thoughts and beliefs originate from to build awareness of your behavioural pattern.
• Discover your unique stress team of 'selves' and how to move beyond imposter syndrome by separating from their agendas and regaining real choice in your behaviour and actions.
• Break the cycle of pre-empting, overthinking, and ruminating to catastrophe to unlock your true potential.
