Performers face a unique set of pressures from the spotlight’s intensity to the constant demand to deliver at their best. Recognizing the toll these stressors can take, Licensed Psychologist and Holistic Wellness Practitioner Dr. Jas Tilghman, Ph.D. introduces her latest book, Entertainers Managing Stress Through EnterTraining. This groundbreaking resource combines performance psychology, counseling, and multicultural perspectives to provide performers with effective self-soothing strategies designed to prevent burnout and promote balance.
Entertainers Managing Stress Through EnterTraining offers practical, evidence-based tools for performers to manage stress and distress in healthy, sustainable ways. The book emphasizes mindfulness, breathing techniques, and value-driven coping strategies that allow readers to stay closer to homeostasis, rather than turning to external habits that may be self-destructive.
While the book is written with performers in mind, its core strategies apply universally because, as Dr. Jas notes, “we all perform in some way, shape, or form.” Whether on stage, in front of a camera, or navigating daily life, readers will discover approachable methods to reduce stress and build resilience.

“I feel performers deal with a unique set of stressors that become less and less manageable over time if not tended to in a healthy way,” says Dr. Jas. “Rather than seeking external coping habits, I want to encourage them to grow and practice self-soothing strategies so they can remain closest to balance and homeostasis.”
