Music support for trauma healing.
You may have heard, or even spoken the phrase “music is my therapy.” It is a truth known by many that music can offer tremendous healing benefits, supporting the therapeutic journey in beautiful ways.
Most individuals struggling with past relationship injuries are seeking an emotionally connected, and relationally safe therapy experience. Music can actually enhance this kind of safety, when used in a competent and skillful way. If you are someone actively on a journey to recover your best self, and you have an affinity for music, mindfully bringing this powerful creative tool into our therapy sessions can be a way to catalyze deeper results than we could likely access with words alone.
