Doing a PhD trajectory can be intense and stressful sometimes. PhD candidates face high work pressure and can be at serious risk of a burnout. This workshop is about what PhD candidates need to know about burnouts, how to deal with it and how to avoid it.

We talk about topics and questions like: 

• How can we recognise the early signs of a burnout? 

• Why do we stagnate for long periods, even though we are hard-workers and individuals with high potential? 

• What are the factors that make us more vulnerable and susceptible to an anxiety disorder or a burnout? 

• How can we best protect ourselves from that possibility?

• How do we stop self-sabotage? 

• What shall we do when we are in the midst of a burnout and increase the chances of recovering faster? 

• During recovery time, how can we preserve our Inner Peace in the best possible way? 

Let's meet and talk about what you need to know about a Burnout. In our 2-hour workshop you will learn:

• How to see the red flags of a burnout and prevent it as soon as possible.

• How to build healthy habits in order to protect your mental health.

• How to understand your negative thinking and how to reverse it.

• How to increase your healthy mindset and your work-life balance.
