Nervous system resilience for interpreters starts with recognizing that accuracy under pressure isn’t only a cognitive skill. It’s a physiological one.
Every assignment asks you to hold difficult material steadily, at speed, without visible reaction—and your body keeps a record of that whether or not you notice. Building nervous system resilience for interpreters means understanding how that accumulated load can affect you, even when you have the experience and skills to handle the assignment. The result isn’t weakness or lack of experience. It’s load.
In this live session with Tina Harris, you’ll learn what that load does to attention and recall, how to spot your own overload signals early enough to act on them, and at least one regulation technique you can use mid-assignment without anyone in the room knowing.
Bring a question. There’ll be time for them.
