Maggie Knottenbelt on Ego, Judgment and Just Playing Bridge
Notes de l’épisode
Should I Play or Should I Go? is a four-part mini-series about rudeness, rejection and confidence at the bridge table, created, produced and hosted by Catherine Harris.
In episode two, English champion and psychotherapist Maggie Knottenbelt joins Catherine to talk about what happens when ego, judgment and self-doubt creep into the game. They discuss rudeness at the table, the fear of making mistakes, caring too much about what other players think — and how to find your way back to simply playing bridge.
Plus, other bridge players share some memorable encounters of their own. Thanks to Jim Wallis, Mindy Fleder, Alan Davidson and Laura Ginnan.
