Do you still feel like a fraud despite your achievements?

Do you deny yourself what you truly want, because you fear you aren't good enough?

Are you worried others will discover that you aren't as competent as they think you are?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 

Seventy percent of people surveyed report experiencing prolonged periods of self-doubt that negatively affects their work, relationships, and quality of life. 

And despite best efforts to get rid of Imposter Syndrome thoughts and feelings, they persist. It’s because we can't just stop thinking Imposter Syndrome automatic negative thoughts, nor can we be cured of it, as it isn't a disease. 

Dr. Anne Dranitsaris and Heather Hilliard share ground-breaking insights into what the Imposter Syndrome really is, what causes it, and a blueprint for breaking free of its limitations. Their unique approach to understanding the mechanics of the mind give us powerful insight into living from our authentic self. 

You can change your brain and your life, powering past the Imposter Syndrome and living free of the self-limiting beliefs and behaviors that get in the way of your happiness and fulfilment. 

The root causes of the Imposter Syndrome are from childhood, where our development was disrupted or interfered with. We are stuck with self-limiting beliefs and stories that are etched in the neural pathways of our brain. Their research and decades of working with clients show how consistent negative messaging, inadequate parenting, and traumatic childhood experiences. 

Their brain-based, developmental approach show how the negative messages and automatic behaviors of the Imposter Syndrome are wired into our belief system and the physiology of our brain. And because they are unconscious, why it takes time and consistent effort to bring our beliefs into consciousness and change automatic habits of mind that get in the way of living from our authentic self. 

What makes this book so unique is the integration of the four archetypes of survival with the development of the authentic self. 

Did you know that everyone has and uses four survival archetypes or Imposter Syndrome Personas? 

The 4 Imposter Syndrome Personas are based on the four Archetypes of Survival from the work of Caroline Myss and Carl Jung. They are the Child, Victim, Prostitute, and Saboteur Imposter Syndrome Personas. All of them have the agenda to keep us safe by staying small, but they do it in different ways. We call them Imposter Syndrome Personas because while they represent us and we use them, they are not our authentic self. 

Our personas agenda is to protect us and keep us safe. The agenda of our authentic self is to achieve our potential. These two agendas are in constant conflict when we aren’t self-aware. We believe the story our Imposter Syndrome tells us to keep us safe. 

Because these personas are in our unconscious and we aren't aware of them, we get stuck repeating the patterns of behavior and thoughts associated with each of them. We mistake our IS Persona for who we actually are until we take our development into our own hands. These Personas keep us stuck working out the relationship failures of our childhood and repeating patterns of thinking and behavior throughout our adult life. 

It's time to stop being at the mercy of your Imposter Syndrome Story by recognizing that you are stuck in unconscious self-protective patterns that make you feel like you aren’t good enough despite your achievements.
