Psychotherapist explains achievement dissatisfaction

Psychotherapist Dr Chandni Tugnaat describes imposter syndrome as common among high achievers who feel they don't deserve success.

Success often amplifies self-doubt because new levels bring higher expectations and increased visibility, making high achievers feel at greater risk of being 'found out'.

People with imposter syndrome attribute achievements to luck, timing, or others' generosity rather than their own ability.

Perfectionism and imposter syndrome are interconnected, with high achievers overworking to prevent scrutiny of their competence.
