We are BACK! This is Episode 1 of a new series talking about performance psychology, where it comes from, and new approaches to mitigate it. In this episode, I speak with Carly Jacques, LCSW about how clinicians see performance anxiety and how it relates to perfectionism. We also talk about EMDR therapy and how it may hold the key to staying physically and emotionally regulated in certain situations where we feel under or over-activated. I hope you enjoy it.

Note: my good microphone is sending weird noise into the mix, so this and the following two episodes were recorded using the on-board Apple headphones' audio. Apologies if the difference makes it less enjoyable to listen to.

Could not find the source for the quote, but it's so nice to have it here in the show notes: "We cannot shame ourselves into change; we can only love ourselves into evolution." ❤️
