SHINE
You deserve to feel supported, no matter who your advisor is, or what program you’re in.
Achieving a graduate degree should feel like an empowering accomplishment, but sometimes students are left burnt out, exhausted, and traumatized.
I thought my former advisor’s behavior was normal (but it was abuse). As a 1st-generation student, I assumed I just had a lot to learn about the hidden curriculum of a PhD, including what counted as “professional behavior.” After a vulnerable conversation with a friend I realized the way my advisor’s behavior was abusive. You don’t have to keep suffering through your program alone. You deserve a humanizing academic journey. I can help you navigate academia with your mental health intact.
