Mental Wellness for Musicians, an interview with Toni Aswegan

On today’s show we hit topics close to the heart for our music community. Our guest is Toni Aswegan, a mental health professional, who has her own podcast called Toni Talks Therapy. We talk about depression, sadness and anxiety that is hitting this holiday season. The challenges musicians and artists face at this time due to lack of performing at our busiest time of year. We also talk about issues many musicians face such as : perfectionism, performance anxiety, and imposter syndrome. Toni also highlights how some performance anxiety can be helpful.Follow Toni Aswegan here:Podcasts: Toni Talks Therapy (all platforms)Instagram: @tonitalkstherapyFor WA residents looking for therapy contact Toni at her private practice.Website: www.riverbanktherapy.comFor CA residents looking for virtual therapy- I would refer my therapist Natalie Kusturicwww.nataliekusturic.comThe Crisis Line for anyone needing immediate support1-800-273-8255 or text 741-741--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thewholemusician/message
