On the day of Queen Elizabeth's funeral, Petra Borzynski, cognitive behavioural therapist & somatic vocal coach, joins Gillyanne and Jeremy for some expert wisdom on dealing with emotion.

Singing is an emotional act. And we sometimes need to sing, or to teach singing, when we're emotional. How do we deal with our own wobbles, and when should we deal with the wobbles of our singing students?

There are questions from listeners on anxiety in singing lessons - when do we hold the space for people's feelings and when do we hand over to a professional therapist.
Petra shares some of the red flags to look out for.

And how can we make our studio a safe space for people who might have experienced trauma? 
Petra's answer might surprise you.

A hugely useful episode for singing teachers, singers and performers alike on the subject of anxiety, nerves and trauma in singing.
