We cannot talk about recovering from an injury in full without addressing the importance of maintaining good mental health or discussing some of the psychological hurdles that appear during this process. A negative outlook, increased stress and decreased motivation can slow recovery. Feelings of isolation and depression can have the same effect. That’s why we thought it was imperative to have a mental health care practitioner on DanceWell this month to talk about recovering from injury. Join us on this episode as we welcome back Catherine Drury, LCSW on today's episode: On Injury: Overcoming Psychological Hurdles and the Benefits of Support.
