3.26 How to look after yourself when conducting emotionally distressing research

Saison 3 · Épisode 26

lundi 3 mars 2025 • Durée 01:04:39

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

All research can be stressful but if your topic is inherently distressing, it becomes even more important to look after your own wellbeing.

In today’s episode, I welcome Dr Tina Skinner and Sarah Warbis who are experts in researcher wellbeing. They talk about how researchers can support themselves and, even more importantly, what support institutions should be putting in place to ensure that those conducting research in distressing topics get the help they need. Whatever your topic, there is a useful advice about caring for your own wellbeing.

*Please note that there is brief mention of some distressing topics from the start.*

26. How to be kind to yourself

In this episode I talk about how I'm being kind to myself this week and how you can too! It's short but includes some important reflections on what we need to believe in order to take decisions that are right for us in the moment. Hope that you're kind to yourself this holiday period!

**Please note - for reasons that will become clear, this was recorded in a field so you can hear the wind! It's still audible but not quite as crystal clear as usual :) Thanks for understanding!

25. How to curate your PhD Life with Jamie Pei

Saison 1 · Épisode 25

lundi 3 avril 2023 • Durée 48:04

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

In this episode we have another special guest! This time we're talking to Jamie Pei, the "messy" PhD coach about how to curate your PhD Life. We talk about what we mean by "curating" and why we mean your all elements of your life and not just your PhD. Jamie has a great perspective on how this approach puts you in the driver's seat, and enables you to guide and create the life you want. You also hear us demonstrating how little we actually know about fine art curation in an attempt to make useful analogies....

24. How Winnie the Pooh can help you manage your mind

Saison 1 · Épisode 24

lundi 27 mars 2023 • Durée 25:53

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

In this episode we think about our own inner dialogue. How do you speak to yourself? Are you critical? Quick to judgment? Pessimisitic? Put yourself under pressure? All of these things are so common in academia yet we never really get shown how to manage our minds. Instead we either indulge these thoughts (ie we believe them and look for evidence they're true) or we admonish ourselves for having them (ie we tell ourselves "we're our own worst enemy"). In this episode I'll give you a very practical (and slightly silly) technique to help you develop a more kind, compassionate, and firm inner voice. And it involves Winnie the Pooh...

23. How to make decisions you love

Saison 1 · Épisode 23

lundi 20 mars 2023 • Durée 25:38

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

There are so many big decisions to make in academia, from what to research, what conferences to go to, what admin roles to do, where to submit your work, and even how long to stay in academia. Everyone is keen to give us their opinion on what we "should" do or what will be "good for our CV", but no one seems to ever help us figure out how to make our own decisions. In this episode, I share some frameworks and reflective questions that will help you make the best decisions for you.

22. What to do when you're feeling a bit bleurgh

Saison 1 · Épisode 22

lundi 13 mars 2023 • Durée 26:47

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

What do you do when you feel disappointed, stressed or overwhelmed? These are such common emotions in academia yet most of us don't really know how to respond to these emotions. In this episode, I'll guess what you probably do at the moment when you're experiencing an emotion you don't like, and suggest some things you do instead. Emotions are part of the human existence and we can learn how to look after ourselves a little more.

In this episode I mention the emotion wheel. There are loads if you search online but here's one I like - https://www.purewow.com/family/feelings-chart

21. Why I want to coach your supervisor (and what that means for you)

Saison 1 · Épisode 21

lundi 6 mars 2023 • Durée 25:07

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

In this episode, I consider the downside of always assuming that our seniors "have it together" (whatever level of academia you're at). Often we create a story where, if they haven't replied to our email or changed their mind about our study, it means that we're not important or our study is wrong. I'll be discussing why it's almost certainly not about you and what we should do differently as a sector.

20. What to do when you have too much to do

Saison 1 · Épisode 20

lundi 27 février 2023 • Durée 35:50

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

In this episode, we accept a universal truth. We have too much to do. We'll explore what happens when you accept that as a fact and challenge instead the notion that we have to do it all (and especially the notion that we have to do it all this week). I teach you about boss mode and worker mode, introduce you to my plate spinning analogy, and explore how the project management triangle can be used when we're really up against it. We're also going to celebrate that this is my 20th episode! Yay! Thanks for your continuing support :)
