Have you ever wondered if perfectionism is all bad? 

Have you wondered if perfectionism may contribute to injury? 

Have you ever wondered what the difference may be between a coach and a therapist? 

These are all questions that renowned clarinetist and performance psychologist Jason Shafer answers in this interview. 

He also shares his experience with embouchure dystonia, and his journey back to full performing health through retraining. 

He shares how some forms of perfectionism aid us in our musical and/or recovery journeys, but how most manifestations of it can be detrimental to our wellbeing. 

You will find a lot of answers in this episode!

Keep on keepin' on and trust the process!
