It was about two Saturdays ago, I remember I had accidentally stayed too long at a rehearsal. We had to run one of the musical numbers, unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the dances. Before the rest of the ensemble came down, I was backstage with one of the leads, Kyle Walker.  I was visibly shaking and breathing heavily. Kyle looks over and asks me if I was okay.

Just the simple act of being concerned and showing that act of care was enough to reassure me that I can get out there, and finish the routine.

Reassurance can be extremely helpful
