How to Deal with the Emotions of an Injury (so you can actually heal) | TwinTalksBallet
*Nov. 2019 edit: I now offer a unique online program for injured dancers called the Come Back Stronger Course. It is specifically designed to walk injured dancers through the recovery process, giving them powerful support and community through the biggest challenges, questions, and confusions dancers face on their road to making a strong recovery. Enrolling in this program will give you practical strategies for saving time and frustration, much-needed mental and emotional support, a Facebook community of other dancers who are their to connect and cheer you on, the peace of mind that you have all the support you need to make a strong come back, and so much more. To learn more and enroll in this first-of-it's-kind program, visit www.comebackstrongercourse.com * I hope this video really hits home for those of you who feel alone, hopeless, or just swallowed up by the tough emotions that tend to surface during an injury. Keep watching until the end for some very special (and sentimental) footage of me dancing after stepping back for a while!! I also want to include links to my past videos documenting my injury experience... get ready to cry with me and be encouraged by the fact that we all have hope to make a 180 transformation... Honest talk from my rock bottom: • Not ok, but not alone (honest thoughts abo... Announcing my surgery: • So... I Got Surgery - TwinTalksBallet Explaining my decision to leave professional dance: • Stepping away. Here's why that's great. Visit my very first blog post on my website for a detailed guide of how to begin to process through these emotions for yourself (plus some additional insights and stories I did not get to share in this video)! David Hallberg's book, "A Body of Work" (a must read for injured dancers!): https://amzn.to/2FZWnpZ Don't forget to check out the testimonial from Harper I shared on Instagram (@twintalksballet)!! Her results are truly amazing! Lastly, I cannot emphasize enough how valuable it is to have partnership and mental health support during an injury to aid in your recovery. Seriously, I so badly wish that, during my injury, I sought out a relationship with a qualified professional who knows how to guide someone towards a productive state of mind. We are not meant to go through times like this alone, and investing in your mental health during this time is just as crucial as investing in treatment for your physical health. As an ICF Certified Mindset and Transition Coach, I am here to help dancers just like you navigate the most difficult aspects of life as a dancer with mental clarity, confidence, and the tools necessary to develop your most productive state of mind.
