Hi everyone

I'm quite new to my phd, only about 6 months in and I'm feeling a little bit like my supervisor is quite controlling in the sense of not giving me the freedom to do that much teaching around the university (this is something I really enjoy and if I'm honest, I think it's a good break from research and allows me to clear my head). I'm not sure if I'm over-reacting or if this is totally normal near the start of a phd, I just kind of thought it would be a bit of a relaxed supervision during a phd. Any advice about how it was like with your supervisor and how to deal with this would be really useful!!
