I also feel that sometimes when students try to do something useful in the field, they're then told it's a training program/dont be too ambitious, but really the Prof may not have a good sense of how to guide the student through what they're asking bc it's different from what they usually do.

While there is sig research on how social support is a resilience factor after experiencing trauma, I'm aiming to take a more "social-transactional" perspective and look at the mechanisms that could lead to "social thinning" i.e. having sparser networks, feeling less supported, more lonely.

My PhD is based on the neurocognitive social-transactional model: the idea that interpersonal trauma in childhood can lead to changes in the way we think/feel/act in relationships, which in turn could affect mental health. This review scoped initial evidence for candidate mechanisms for this model!
