When Clance & Imes first wrote about the “Impostor Phenomenon” in 1978 they were not to know that 70% of the population would suffer from Impostor Syndrome at some stage in their lives. A range of defining characteristics such as an inability to realistically assess your competence, attributing success to external factors, perfectionism, fear that you won't live up to expectations and self-sabotaging your own success are just some of the many characteristics of this very common problem. Selective attention, cognitive fusion and avoidance are just three of the processes that maintain the problem. They are also processes that are directly amenable to CBT interventions. This Module provides an outline of the most useful strategies to use to effect change.

These common problems frequently create distress and substantially interfere with functioning for sufferers even though they are not diagnostic problems typically leading to referral to mental health services.

Integrated CBT is an evidence-based approach to tackling problems that addresses process as well as content issues in therapy. It includes 2nd and 3rd wave CBT ideas as well as evidence based “tips” from other therapeutic approaches, such as MI, SFT, REBT and others, specifically to address process issues such as motivation and communication difficulties.

We've decided to combine the power of integrated CBT with deeper understanding of non-diagnostic life challenges and this resulted in creation of this Certificate Course.

This Certificate is a series of bite-sized trainings (with the exception of the 2-day detailed training on procrastination) that will guide delegates through cohesive evidence based treatment plans or self-help programmes.
