I think impostor syndrome naturally emerges from the way we usually interact with those around us. Everyone puts their best face forward, emphasizes their strengths, and downplays their weaknesses. In fact, it's often a requirement for promotion. I think the cure to impostor syndrome is to talk to those around us who we trust. By talking to others, we can much better see the full range of their skills, and hear an outside opinion on the full range of our skills. The difference is usually not as large as we thought. I'd love to hear others techniques for combating it too!
