I’ve promised to get a specialist on performance anxiety within classical music for months now, and today we finally get there.

Today’s guest is board certified neurologist and psychiatrist, Dr. Déirdre Cooper.

Together we chat about performance anxiety, the psychology of anxiety, inter-generational trauma, emigration, child prodigies and so much more.
