Music therapy can help those suffering with various ailments cope with procedures among other things. Music therapy is special because it meets these goals by connecting us to the part of ourselves that takes in feeling. It can aid in pain reduction, stress reduction, and increasing brain activity in people who live with neurological disorders. Music therapy has also shown to be effective physically as well as psychologically. Some of these might include increasing one’s ability to express themselves, relax, acquire new coping skills, etc. Of course, there are also specific goals one might have when seeking out music therapy. This might mean playing music for a patient, teaching them to play, or simply experimenting with sounds that evoke feelings.

Using music, therapists offer a free flowing experience to help soothe their patients.

Music therapy is an up and coming sect of mental health work that’s becoming increasingly popular. If it’s possible to feel so much through music on our own, imagine what can happen when adding therapy to the mix. We listen to a sad tune when we need to let it out, an uplifting beat when we feel joyful, and ambient sounds when we need to soothe ourselves. We’ve all experienced that indescribable sensation when listening to music.
