The Positive Aspects of a High Pain Tolerance

46 years old, theater painter in the State Theater in Stuttgart for the past 17 years, since seven years also in her own practice as a naturopathic healer. Was a corps dancer for 7 years, up to the age of 28, first being employed only for tours, then at the City Theater, Nuremberg and in the Music Theater im Revier in Gelsenkirchen. She had planned to give up this career at age thirty. Stopped before that for reasons of health. Out of the necessity for a high tolerance of pain while dancing, she gained the ability to put up with things in a positive sense and learned to set her limits.
