Do you ever feel as though, any moment now, you are going to be 'found out'? Do you ever feel that you aren't really as good as people think you are, or that you have to work extra hard to keep up the pretence that you know what you're doing? The good news is that you aren't alone and it doesn't have to be this way. Clinical psychologist Dr Jessamy Hibberd provides a solution-based approach to letting go of negative thinking patterns, leading to the refreshing perspective that: failure is an essential part of success; discomfort is a trigger for self-growth; compassion is infinitely more powerful than self-criticism. If you struggle to enjoy your achievements, feel inhibited because of the fear of failure or have been driven to distraction by your pursuit of perfection, this book is a must-read to help you escape the mind-trap of imposter syndrome." -- Taken from book-cover.
