Ep. 165 May Monthly MailbagIn this month’s mailbag T Dancing Housewife answers a listener’s question about spiraling after mistakes and discusses the concept of catastrophizing - a cognitive distortion that turns small missteps into “disasters,” increasing anxiety and eroding confidence—especially under judging pressure. She emphasizes that one moment doesn’t define a heat, most people don’t notice what you obsess over, and judges focus on overall quality and consistency. She teaches the “three Cs” method—catch, challenge, change—plus an in-the-moment reset (name it, return to the body, give the brain a helpful job) and a post-competition cutoff ritual to close the loop and regain perspective and joy.00:00 Mistake Spiral Mindset00:25 Mailbag Question Setup01:28 What Is Catastrophizing02:02 Why Dancers Do It02:50 How It Hurts Performance03:28 Showdance Lifts Fear Loop04:17 Bedtime Replay Trap04:48 Reality Check Perspective05:21 Three Cs Reframe Method06:16 In The Moment Reset06:39 Post Comp Cutoff Ritual07:06 Wrap Up And Call To Action
