Stress Reduction Techniques in Research
This workshop is specifically designed to provide PhD researchers with effective strategies for reducing anxiety and boosting confidence around and within the research process.
This workshop emphasises the benefits of practising self-compassion to 1. develop a positive mindset around the PhD journey and 2. to develop more manageable approaches to the PhD research process.
Practicing self-compassion throughout the PhD journey builds confidence, counteracts the effects of imposter syndrome, enhances confidence in the research process. It also creates an environment of psychological safety and encourages a culture of empathy, understanding, and mutual support among PhD researchers, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
