Performing with Resilience provides essential guidance for performers, educators, and industry professionals on sustaining mental health in the demanding entertainment industry.

The book explores the psychological, emotional, and physiological challenges artists face and presents evidence-based strategies, practical exercises, and industry best practices to promote resilience, safety, and well-being. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, this book reveals how creativity and care can work together rather than against each other. It offers practical tools for emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and recovery, turning complex research into language that artists can use in auditions, rehearsals, classrooms, and everyday life. The book provides strategies to manage emotional intensity, stress, and burnout; tools for setting boundaries and ensuring psychological safety; and science-backed approaches to emotional regulation and nervous system support. It also advocates for safe mental health practices and systematic industry changes to support the well-being of the artists

Unlike existing books that focus solely on technique or psychological resilience, this book integrates real-world industry insights, cutting-edge research, and practical, actionable tools tailored for actors, directors, and all members of the creative process. This book is written for actors, directors, mental health coordinators, intimacy coordinators, acting coaches, and drama educators.
