Petra Raspel Borzynski on Origin Stories ES062

Today’s guest is Petra Raspel Borzinski.Petra is an accomplished musician and educator, who is trained in psychology, somatic therapy and cognitive-behavioural approaches. Petra speaks candidly about how her limiting beliefs around perfectionism, led her to suffer from performance anxiety throughout her entire career. Based on her own personal experiences, as well as the knowledge she acquired through her own education, Petra teaches performing artists how to regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their bodies and their deepest values so they can perform and live freely. In this episode, Petra confesses that she has an obsession with learning and how this desire for knowledge has given her a deeper understanding of trauma and other mental health and emotional concerns, especially within the performing arts industry. Petra believes, that as voice teachers, we must never become complacent and it is important for us all to become perpetual learners, and this includes educating ourselves around areas of mental health. Petra explains, the more informed we are regarding the numerous ways to establish safe spaces in the voice studio, the less likely we are to behave in a manner that will cause further trauma to our students. She discusses the importance of defining clear boundaries between the role of a voice teacher and that of a therapist in the singing studio. Petra shares that it is acceptable for us, as voice teachers, to have empathy and to hold space for our students to be heard, however, there needs to be a very clear distinction between these roles for the welfare of the teacher as well as the student. This is a most informative episode, jam-packed full of useful tips for us all.Learn more from Petra on her website: www.singingsense.com9:04 - Petra’s performance career in Germany9:48 - Dealing with performance anxiety16:08 - Petra’s inspiration for studying psychology 17:59 - How Petra’s psychology background helps her in the teaching studio30:02 - Our responsibility as singing teachers39:35 - The difference between trauma and a difficult time45:55 - Supporting students who need additional assistance with learning54:06 - Ensuring we are creating safe spaces for all57:26 - Petra’s courses and webinars in mental healthFor more go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/46Like this episode?

#46. Establishing Boundaries Between Teacher and Therapist in the Voice Studio with Petra Raspel Borzinski

Petra is a Vocal Coach, Singing Teacher, Life &amp; Career Coach for Creatives in Glasgow, United Kingdom. she has special expertise in helping (performing) artists and creatives to overcome limiting beliefs and emotional blocks to perform better and without fear. She has helped hundreds of people to prepare for or sustain a singing career, find personal fulfilment through music and overcome limiting beliefs and performance anxiety. Our conversation is broken into two parts, first dealing with performance anxiety for the singer, and second, setting oneself up for a growth mindset as a professional.    Petra began in this field by wanting to move the conversation with her students from the pure level of empathy to actually knowing the steps to enable the client or student to come up with their own solutions.   Here’s the important points I’ve picked up so far.   Performance anxiety may be caused by  1.a trauma from the past 2.perfectionism, we don’t feel we are enough yet 3.Too much outward focus, not enough inward focus.   As a mindset coach, Petra works with people to “get a grip” on their own minds, like    self limiting beliefs not wanting to reveal a weakness comparing themselves too much of others  Becoming aware of where you are on the continuum of a fixed mindset is a good start    Petra recommends the Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck - https://amzn.to/2ADUwnY   I’d like to talk to you briefly about my book the Teen Girl’s Singing Guide because there is a big section in that book on performance anxiety, written by Dr. Diana Allen, who was a guest of one of the most popular episodes of this podcast, episode ES022. In the book, Diana talks about many similar things to what Petra talks about here.    Diana calls herself a peak performance coach. And Petra calls herself a mindset coach. These two awesome women have in common that they work with creative professionals and amateurs, and specialize in singers. There are many mindset and peak performance coaches who work with athletes, business people, and others, but to have these two women available to us as musicians - that’s a great thing. Both of these people base their careers on helping us achieve our dreams. So we should take advantage of that.    Wherever you are in the world, you can reach out to Petra. The best way to find her is through her website: www.singingsense.com  What you’ll find there is her 3 Step Breakthrough Program for Creatives, her blog, and links to her totally useful social media pages.
