‘Pain in So Many Ways’- Iga Swiatek’s Psychologist Pens Poignant Note Upon Watching Celine Dion’s Documentary

Iga Swiatek‘s psychologist found herself moved by the Queen of Power Ballads. Daria Abramowicz sat through “I Am: Celine Dion,” a documentary of the musician, and found herself unable to look away. Daria Abramowicz reveals how this film offers “a lot to see, process and understand,” mentioning that she has never “ever seen anything like this before.”

Swiatek’s psychologist, Daria Abramowicz, took to X as she was surprised by the raw emotion presented in Dion’s documentary. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before,” was her compliment for the stories shared. “Rough, loaded with emotions, with a lot of honesty and transparency. There’s a lot to see, process and understand. Perfection, pain in so many ways, loss, strength, all shades of passion (not only healthy ones), enormous cost, values…What does the performance even mean?” she wrote further, as she found herself confounded.

Directed by Irene Taylor, Celine Dion’s Amazon Prime film features the famous singer’s struggles with Stiff Person syndrome for over a decade. Not only that, but the director also aimed to showcase Dion’s guilt about not offering the best to her fans when she was in a difficult condition. Swiatek’s psychologist further shared her emotions and said, “This is big and beautifully filmed. Worth to watch.” 

Director Taylor has tried to shed light on Celine Dion’s health issues raising a pertinent question about whether this talented singer is fit to perform in front of the public again. At the end of the documentary film, Dion presents a revival performance narrating her life’s ups and downs to her fans whom she holds close to her heart. Given its emotional contents, Abramowicz further alerted her followers about the film and wrote, “Please take the warning at the beginning seriously.”

Swiatek’s psychologists’ revelations on the difficult phases of Celine Dion show her understanding of her field. Her assessment of the movie shows how she helped Swiatek keep her mind calm and goal-oriented since 2019. Her attention to the film also shows her ability to help Swiatek overcome a stereotype. 

Iga Swiatek credits psychologist for helping her break ‘too emotional’ stereotype

After she added a fifth slam to her tally, she sat down with Abramowicz for an interview, where she discussed her image as a highly emotional player. “Three or four years ago, I was called too emotional and accused of crying during matches.” However, the outlook on someone like Swiatek is completely different now, “Today, I am held up as a model of mental resilience on the court, and I am not afraid to say that this is a well-deserved opinion.”

She revealed how a straight-set defeat in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics caused her to break down on the court. She felt that others were judging her, but eventually overcame the trouble. “While you’re on this journey, striving for excellence, you can sometimes say, ‘Okay, that’s enough.’ You’re in control, the whole way. No one else is driving the car.”

Iga Swiatek has a strong person in her corner with Daria Abramowicz. Her mental strength was on display in the Madrid Open final as she fought back after Aryna Sabalenka attained a match-point and even shed tears after a comeback victory against Naomi Osaka in the French Open final. With the insights from Abramowicz, she can achieve much more.
