Empowering Therapists with Music Therapy Tools

“Thank you, Music4Life, for an amazing journey in helping me further my healing. As a therapist, I fully understand the importance of doing the work to unlearn harmful coping strategies and learn new coping skills to help me regulate my emotions. However, I noticed that I have been stagnant with unsettled/negative emotions. To be exact, I didn’t realize I had been suppressing them for years, that I internalized them and fell deeper into depression. Nothing seemed to work for me. I was so NUMB with my emotion that I couldn’t cry for years even if I wanted to. I dissociated often to further detach myself from negative feelings. However, I am grateful that I found Music4Life during the summer while I was attending a Healing to Health 2022 Conference with Solutions of Change. Once Judith and I connected and started working together the result has been phenomenal for me. During our first session, I was crying A RIVER.  Throughout the course of treatment and listening to my personal Music Medicine Pill, I am grateful to be able to FEEL again. I feel exhilarated that I could connect deeper with my emotions. Embracing the unsettled emotions by acknowledging them, then allowing them to exit, honored them. With the music medicine, I am more confident of who I am after the treatment. I am more present and feel the attachment with the connections I made with those around me, from co-workers to personal relationships. For the first time in more than 10+ years, I am not dissociating! THAT’S HUGE for me.  Music Medicine truly helps me to regulate my emotions, be more in tune with myself, and manage negative emotions more maturely instead of running or hiding from them. I now can hold space to express them and work through it so I can continue to move forward with joy and peace. The best part of this experience is that I finally have closure with my past traumas. I am walking in Peace. Thank you Music4Life for further healing me – emotionally and physically.”
