Therapy for musicians and performers
You can play it alone. That's never been the problem. The problem is what happens between the wing and the stage — a body that decides, without consulting you, that this is dangerous.
What performers actually bring
Audition nerves that have got worse rather than better with experience. A specific performance that went badly and now lives in the body. A teacher's remark from twenty years ago still setting the volume on your self-assessment. Or the flatness that arrives when the thing you love became the thing you're judged on.
Why body-based work suits this
Performance anxiety happens in the body first — hands, breath, throat. Brainspotting in particular was shaped partly through work with performers and athletes, and it reaches that activation directly.
EFT gives you something usable in the ten minutes before you go on.
Not about caring less
The goal isn't detachment. Nerves are part of performing. What changes is proportion — the response matching the moment instead of a much older one.
