19. What to do (and think) if you have a toxic relationship with your supervisor

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!In this episode, we’ll think about how to look after yourself if you think you have a toxic relationship with your supervisor. We’ll consider what that means, what effect it could have on you, and most importantly, how to manage your thoughts so that you can make decisions about this difficult situation. I’ll talk about some of the most common thoughts that I see students having and help you find some other thoughts that might help you more. If you find yourself in this situation, please do reach out to the wellbeing services at your university and make sure that you are also getting the professional help that you need. If you'd like to find out more about working with me, come to www.thephdlifecoach.com/work-with-me. You can find a transcript of this episode at www.thephdlifecoach.com/podcast****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.
