In this episode of  “Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey,  join host Joanne Carey as she chats with Special Guest: Terry Hyde, Dancer's Psychotherpist and Workshop Presenter.

Terry sits down with Joanne to discuss to importance of dancer mental health and how important self-care is offering the tools necessary to help performers manage anxiety, stress, mental health and their overall well-being, while navigating the world of performing and beyond, something that wasn't fostered while he was in the business. Changing the narrative and removing the taboo of mental health has become his mission and purpose not only in the UK, but worldwide. Welcome Terry and this important conversation to Dance Talk!
