When Performance Hurts: Understanding Emotional Memory
Saturday, October 17, 2026 28 mins
Today’s podcast answers a question from someone who experiences fear and debilitating physical symptoms anytime they try to engage in music. In the past they had experienced painful criticisms following performances or just for having that interest. Today’s podcast focuses on how we might be able to remember the physical details of a memory, but not have recall of the painful memories associated with it. Once those emotions can be recalled and felt again, we are able to put them back in the past where they belong, so we can live in the with a greater sense of safety and confidence.
