Imposter Syndrome Part 2

• Effortlessly challenge the opinionated inner critic that creates your sense of imposter syndrome

• Change the story about yourself within your inner mind, using a variety of guided imagery techniques

• Relaxing small-group guided visualization workshop. Just close your eyes

• Recommended for those feeling like a fraud or undeserving of their own accomplishments

Do you have an inner critic that tells you you’re not good enough, smart enough or experienced enough? A lot of capable people do. Whilst there are many therapies that can help you to delve into the reasons why, if you’re having a challenging time at work, perhaps all you want is to simply quieten that voice down for a while.  Thankfully there’s now an easy, simple and effortless approach, using the power of your inner mind and imagination, to begin to challenge and change your own narrative about yourself. These two small-group workshops are an easy first step towards upgrading your own, often incorrect, beliefs about yourself and your abilities.

Two separately bookable workshops use a combination of deep relaxation techniques, plus vivid visualization and hypnotic suggestion, where you’ll be guided to visualize your own accomplishments in a different, more positive way. All you need do is imagine along with the suggestions given. Participants typically report feeling lighter, brighter and just more positive about themselves afterwards. The two sessions cover different techniques, to offer a deeper, richer experience. Attend one or ideally both.

• Imposter Syndrome Part 1: After introductions, the session begins with some brief theory about what imposter syndrome is and the many different reasons for why it occurs. Following an initial 'warm up' visualization practice, the majority of the session is a 60-75min guided visualization using techniques* such as, celebrating your accomplishments, recognizing your inherent qualities and bringing forward qualities from the future more accomplished version of you. This session aims to help you to begin to internalize the feelings of success and accomplishment, so that your inner feelings can become more aligned with how others view you. It includes a variety of positive suggestions around confidence and self-belief, that your subconscious is able to hear and absorb, whilst in that calm relaxed state.

• Imposter Syndrome Part 2 (bookable separately): Following on from the Part 1 workshop, this additional follow up session further embeds and consolidates the changes and learnings already achieved in Part 1. It begins with introductions and another initial 'warm up' solutions focused visualization practice. The remainder of the session then consists of some calming progressive muscle relaxtion (PMR) followed by 60-min+ of guided visualization*, focusing on reframing and mentally rehearsing different ways to manage situations that were impacted by your imposter syndrome. After more positively worded self-belief suggestions, we'll conclude by adjusting some of your mental 'settings' around yourself and your own self-belief levels.
