Working through imposter syndrome

  • ONLINE VIA ZOOM

Navigating a career as a writer or illustrator requires exposing the most vulnerable parts of yourself and being regularly confronted with critical feedback. These mental and emotional challenges can leave you feeling inadequate, fraudulent, or undeserving of success. You’re not alone in these feelings, as imposter syndrome amongst creatives is more common than you may realise — but it is possible to shake off self-doubt.

Join Support Act psychologist Dr Ash King for a free, interactive workshop that will help you identify the patterns behind imposter syndrome and explore why these feelings show up, particularly in creative or high-achieving environments. 

Through open dialogue and guided exercises, including an imposter syndrome quiz, Dr King will lead you to:

  • Understand how self-doubt can affect your creative output and general wellbeing without you even realising
  • Shift from proving yourself to improving yourself
  • Reframe unhelpful self-talk so you can move past creative blocks and pursue your goals
  • Strengthen self-trust to approach your work with grounded confidence

There will be time for questions.

This practical, insightful workshop will arm you with the knowledge and tools you need to manage your inner critic, step out of your own way, and achieve your ambitions.

Who is this for?

  • Authors and illustrators seeking self-help tools to overcome self-doubt and creative paralysis
  • Authors and illustrators worried about living up to expectations of them and their creative output
  • Authors and illustrators navigating the realities of pursuing a career in the creative industries
