Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern that causes doubt over our accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud. Despite all we do, there are feelings of inadequacy and guilt. A worry of not achieving enough or not being good enough for partners, children, family, friends and so on. Imposter syndrome affects high-achieving individuals more and can cause already successful people to push past their limits. Although the impact varies from person to person, it’s usually accompanied by high levels of stress, anxiety, perfectionism and chronically low self-confidence. Fortunately, there are proven and practical ways to overcome.
