Many of the students and scholars I speak to struggle with stress, anxiety and overwhelming emotions: about exams, assignments, academic pressure or feeling behind.
So today we're chatting with Dr Jennifer Veilleux, clinical therapist and Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Arkansas.
Dr Jenn explains all her key practical strategies, rooted in scientific research, that can make up an effective emotional toolkit for students.
We explore how acknowledging, understanding and regulating your feelings can improve your mental health, your exam performance and your enjoyment of academic life at school or university.
Listen in to discover when to listen to your feelings, when to calm them, and how to stop anxiety and procrastination from running the show.
đYour post-listening task: leave a comment and tell us which of Jennâs strategies you think will help you in your studies today.
