Unpacking the Impostor Cycle
with Associate Professor Terri Simpkin
Event Overview
Join Associate Professor Terri Simpkin as she takes a close examination of the cyclical experience of the impostor phenomenon (no, it's not a bl**dy syndrome!!).
Explore why the irrational (but very real) experience of feeling like a fraud can be debilitating, long term and difficult to address.
Unpack the cyclical 'habit' of behaviours and thought patterns that drive a sense of being a fake and why it's not all in your head!
