“It’s harder to be anxious when we’re engaged in something we love doing”, says psychologist Shane Martin to explain his interest in psychological flow. But what exactly is psychological flow and what happens when a musician experiences it?

Shane Martin and Shane Mitchell speak with fiddle player Martin Hayes and psychologist Dr Jolanta Burke, who specialises in positive psychology. Music: Hughie Travers' Reel, Martin Hayes & The Common Ground Ensemble
