SubjectSuppoRTT (Supported Return to Training)
DescriptionImposter Syndrome or Phenomenon is defined as ‘a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evidence of success’. ‘Imposters’ suffer chronic self-doubt and are unable to internalise their accomplishments however successful they are in their field. This phenomenon is surprisingly common. It can get in the way of professional progress and job satisfaction. Because it is so common, it is helpful for trainers to be aware of it, and to understand how they might work with trainees who experience it. It is normal for trainers themselves to also experience it. This one-day interactive workshop looks at what Imposter Syndrome is, how it can sabotage trainee progress, and what tools are available to manage it. The day will include evidence-based solutions using ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) techniques. ACT has a huge body of evidence behind it and an impressive pedigree in providing practical tools that are easy to grasp and use.
