My Imposter Syndrome was permanently cured in 6 minutes—here's how to banish yours quickly, too. Stop looking to books and programs that ask you to work constantly to tame rather than kill off your inner Imposter. Who has time for that? 70% of us medics suffer (I’m still hunting for the other 30%). See how much Imposter Syndrome costs you. The energy you lose maintaining your protective wall that you could use for yourself. The exhaustion. That tension you hold in your face, neck and shoulders. That nagging voice always in your ear. That catastrophising many of us do. All from Imposter Syndrome.

It keeps us teetering on the edge of burnout and breakdown abyss, thinking it only happens to other (weaker) people. That edge is invisible before we topple. Add the catalyst of one dreadful experience and associated moral injury, and many medics are pushed over that edge. I was a big catatrophiser. I was always trying to release the tension in my neck and shoulders. I wasn’t even aware of the tension in my face. I thought I was fine, though deep down, I knew I had Imposter Syndrome and always felt like I was winging it.

After the therapy, strange things happened. That constant voice had gone. I stopped worrying about missing things— that set me free. The most dramatic bit was one day thinking I’d had a stroke. My face on both sides felt lax. My normal tension had lifted. Forget fighting symptoms constantly. Attack the cause(s) and conquer Imposter Syndrome forever. We’ve all been through ‘stuff’; we just don’t call it trauma. We’ve had those days we felt (or were made to feel) inadequate.

Let the book help you understand and practice elements of the therapies. Written for medics and yet applies to everyone. I’ll tell you a secret: two seemingly opposite therapies combined are not just fast—they’re dynamite: Solution-Focused Therapy and BLAST® (accelerated EMDR). Therapy does help, and this book cuts to the chase - the ones that work and work fast.
