Personal accounts
“I have always felt that I do not deserve to be in the position I am currently. I’m doing an MSc in Applied Behaviour Analysis. Always engaged in self-doubt about decision making when it comes to work for the right course of action with service users. Achieving so much yet feeling like I do not deserve any of it because I’m not worthy. ”
“I think the feeling is heightened for me after you’ve resurfaced from facing a lot of rejection, or if things have not gone your way for a while. Ultimately, when something does work out, your instinct is disbelief or to doubt yourself. instead of acknowledging your current success.”
