Welcome to The Bookish Ballerina Podcast, where we discuss ballet, stories, art, science, economics, music, and everything in between! Today, my guest is Terry Hyde, founder of Counseling for Dancers and STEPPS (Support, Training, Education, Performance, Psychotherapy, Solutions). We discuss Terry's background in dancing and training in counseling, mental resilience struggles specific to dancers, and some strategies that can be helpful. You can find both of Terry's organizations on Instagram at @counsellingfordancers and @steppscio. Enjoy!
