Completing a doctorate or master’s thesis requires a high level of self-discipline, good organizational skills and independent work over a long period of time. It is not uncommon for these work conditions to result in feelings of self-doubt or feeling overloaded with work and expectations. During these periods it can prove helpful to get support within the framework of a coaching-group. This group, specifically for international students, will give you the opportunity to not feel alone with your concerns, to develop skills necessary for your work, to share your problems and questions, and to help strengthen your self-esteem.

CBT is a treatment approach that is based on the premise that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected. In this group, you will have the opportunity to begin to better understand potential thoughts and behaviors that contribute to your own experiences of anxiety and worry…..and ways to begin making shifts in thinking and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety. This is a closed-group, meaning that the same participants attend over the entire course of the group. The sessions build upon one another, so it is asked that you make concerted efforts to attend all sessions. Currently, the plan is for the group to take place in-person at the PSB. The language of the group exchange will be in English and group size is limited.
