Addicted To Performing: "Safe and Social" Bypass

Nervous System Revolution For Artists

Join Ruby Rose Fox on a transformative journey through the intricacies of the nervous system in the latest episode of Muscle Music, a podcast dedicated to revolutionizing the way artists interact with their own biology. This episode delves into the common yet often misunderstood phenomenon known as the "safe and social bypass," a concept that extends the foundational principles of polyvagal theory through the innovative lens of the Fox method. Ruby shares her personal experiences and the theoretical underpinnings that illuminate how artists can become trapped in a cycle of performance addiction due to early developmental adaptations. This discussion is not just an exploration of the challenges faced by artists struggling with stage fright, depression, anxiety, and perfectionism but also offers a beacon of hope for healing and growth. Through a blend of personal narrative, theoretical exploration, and practical advice, Ruby provides a roadmap for artists to navigate their way towards a more balanced and fulfilling engagement with their art and their lives. Whether you're an artist feeling stuck in your creative endeavors or anyone interested in the profound connections between our nervous systems and our behaviors, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of understanding and nurturing our biological foundations.
