The aim of the course Resilience – Coping with Dependency

To develop a balanced, more stable identity and behaviour as an autonomous professional. Self-awareness is an important tool to reach this learning goal - the ability to show your resilience at times required. Well-developed self-awareness, flexibility and autonomy supports you in demonstrating to your supervisory team your willingness to learn, your knowledge, intrinsic motivation, responsibility and integrity. After this course you are able to be more resilient, self-aware, recognise personal boundaries, identify and communicate your personal values and skills strengths.

Teaching method

The course provides an equal balance between experience (own practice and personal difficulties), observation and reflection (self-tests and discussion), theoretical background (Beck; Greenberger & Padesky; Young; Ruppert; Deci; ACT) and skills training. It is required that you are willing to share some personal insights, values and difficulties.

Cancellation and No-show policy

This course is free for GSLS PhD candidates. However: free of charge does not mean free of responsibility. Once you have signed up for a course, we expect you to attend. For every late cancellation or no-show we have had to disappoint others who would have liked to attend. This is our policy:

• You may cancel free of charge up to 4 weeks before the start of the course. After this date you can only cancel if you have a GSLS PhD candidate to replace you in the course. Send the name and contact information of your replacement to pcc@uu.nl, at least 2 working days before the start of the course;
• We expect that you actively attend the full course, but at least 80%. It is mandatory to attend the first session. If you are absent the first session you cannot follow the remaining of the course;
• Not meeting the above requirements means you will be charged a no-show fee (€ 50). We will send the invoice after the course has ended. We are unable to make any exceptions, unless you have a valid reason (i.e., illness or death in the family 1^st/2^nd degree or partner). Your supervisor has to send an e-mail to pcc@uu.nl indicating the reason.

Unfortunately we don’t offer this course for participants not part of the GSLS. Our courses tend to be fully booked by GSLS PhD candidates.
