I spend a great deal of my time dealing with highly sensitive, highly confidential information.

Well meaning performers will get wrapped up in their own thoughts trying to figure out what’s in their partner’s head so they can help support them. Non-well meaning (or just oblivious) performers will stress that their partner won’t support them or that their partner will do something stupid or crazy.I was like this too for a while, until I came to a great, if obvious, conclusion: the onl
