Resilience and Well-being in Academia

Course Type: Online-Workshop
Target Group: Doctoral researchers, postdoctoral researchers (Uni Konstanz and EUniWell)
 
 
Despite our increasing diversity, academics tend to harbour a common chorus of voices in our heads. Voices that demand perfection, or that tell us we are not good enough and we do not belong here; voices that have driven us to excel, but that also charge a high tax on our emotional, mental and
physical health.
 
This workshop provides participants with tools to increase their resilience to stress, anxiety and burnout, and to enhance their overall well-being. The workshop is driven by the needs of the specific group in session and tools and strategies are examined through working examples brought forward by the group.
 
Together we explore:
- The self-critical inner voices that sabotage your motivation and enjoyment for your work;
- How your mindset can help or hinder your day-to-day life and your future career prospects;
- How certain maladaptive coping strategies (e.g. procrastination and avoidance) maintain these self-sabotaging thought and behaviour cycles;
- How to reshape your thinking and behaviour patterns to work for you in pursuit of your goals.
