Shelly Qualter, an expert counselor, joins Kristie and Felicia to talk everything on performance anxiety. Drawing from Shelly’s experience as an expert counselor, they break down performance anxiety as a fear-based emotion arising from uncertainty, feeling threatened, or being out of control.
Some takeaways:
- The difference between helpful "nervous energy" and debilitating panic
- How externalizing anxiety (like giving it a name) fosters control and self-compassion
- Distinguishing between fact-based worry and baseless "what if" worries
