Welcome back to Season 10 of the Recovering Perfectionist Podcast!

In this episode, Christine chats with Dr. Anna Kjose ("Dr. Anna"), a licensed psychologist who specializes in performance psychology for ballroom dancers, performing artists, and other high-performing individuals. Drawing from advanced training in performance psychology, expertise in trauma and the mind-body connection, and firsthand experience as a competitive ballroom dancer, she helps performers develop the psychological skills needed to thrive both on and off the competition floor. She earned her PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Oklahoma, where she developed expertise in trauma, emotional regulation, and the mind-body connection. She is also a founding member of a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of performing artists. Dr. Anna's philosophy is rooted in the belief that exceptional performance and psychological well-being are not competing goals—they strengthen one another. Ballroom dancing presents unique psychological demands because success depends not only on individual excellence, but also on the ability to cultivate healthy, resilient dance partnerships. Helping ballroom dancers build the psychological foundations of performance excellence—through Self, Partnership, and Performance.
