Beth Eyre - Hello imposter syndrome my old friend

Beth Eyre narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Despite external evidence of their competence, those experiencing this phenomenon do not believe they deserve their success or luck. Well in this blog, Beth talks to some strategies that she has found help her in dealing with the effects.
