A new focus within performance psychology is the use of mindfulness and acceptance-based treatments to help musicians, vocalists, and other performing artists, to develop “psychological flexibility.” This skillset has been shown to help athletes enhance performances and improve their mental health, and newer research with musicians suggests it helps to manage performance anxiety as well. This session will teach you how to improve your psychological flexibility with helpful information and experiential exercises, and it will allow time for questions.
