Student: my advisor is abusive, my mental and physical health are deteriorating, I'm suffering, I don't think I can do this anymore

Them: Have you tried yoga?

Why yes, I've been doing yoga for 2 years and my Fitbit has a guided breathing module and I pet a puppy last week, but guess what?

STILL SUFFERING.

Enough of these resilience webinars. No more mindfulness seminars.

Fix the real problems. Me & my yoga practise are just fine.

I was suffering in a toxic situation a few yrs ago. I told everyone who would listen.

Nothing happened.

Graduate coordinator didn't do anything. Department didn't do anything. Nobody did anything.

We had mindfulness webinars tho
