Read the interview →A different conversation about creative work.
Mental health in music is often discussed in terms of crisis, substance use, or the pressures of touring. Those things matter, but they are not the whole picture.
Sabrina can speak to the less visible parts of the work too: performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, career uncertainty, disrupted routines, identity, relationships, and what happens when something you love also becomes your livelihood.
“Therapy that understands your symptoms and your scene.”
Topics Sabrina can discuss
Interviews, articles, podcasts, panels, and other media conversations can cover topics including:
Mental health in music
Why musicians and music industry workers can face particular mental health pressures, and where conventional mental health conversations can miss the context.
Burnout & creative pressure
The difference between being tired and being burned out, the role of chronic stress, and what sustainable creative work can actually look like.
Performance anxiety
What happens when the nervous system treats a performance like a threat, even when someone knows exactly what they are doing.
The nervous system
Practical ways neuroscience and nervous-system regulation can help explain anxiety, stress, recovery, and the body’s response to pressure.
