How to overcome your lizard brain

Sophie Llewellyn Smith
About this episode

Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.

Why 'Complete Interpreter'? Because you're not just a translation machine, you're also a person and a business owner, and I hope to help you take a 360 view of yourself and share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, and marketing.

Have you ever been in a stressful situation and felt completely frozen, or panicky? Panic is not a helpful reaction when you're in the booth and you need to be thinking clearly so as to analyse the speaker's message and convey it confidently.

In this episode, I talk about how to find a way out of your body's 'threat response' (= fight or flight) when faced with a real or perceived threat.

Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!
