A little music may be just what the doctor ordered. 🎶
Music therapy is a real thing and is more than simply listening to your favorite song. It uses music intentionally within the therapeutic relationship to support mental, emotional, cognitive, and social goals.
Music therapy may include:
🎧 Listening to and processing music
✍🏾 Songwriting and lyric discussion
🥁 Playing instruments or improvising
🎤 Singing and creative expression
🧘🏾♀️ Music-assisted relaxation
💭 Using music to explore thoughts, feelings, and memories
Research has found that music therapy can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and support daily functioning.
Sometimes healing doesn’t start with talking.
Sometimes it starts with a beat. 🎶
