Episode Synopsis "Balancing the Emotional Scale"

On this week's episode of The Dance Docs we return to our segment of The Whole Dancer.  I am joined once again by Dr. Scott Leydig Psy.D. to talk about how to regulate the highs and lows of being at home, the loss of identity that dancers may be facing during this time and how our changes in self-care have potentially led us down a challenging path.  We hope this episode provides you with some insight on how to get through your days and create a brighter outlook for the future.
