Using Music Therapy to Manage Stress
Stress Management 101: Sound and music therapy is a form of therapy, which involves making or listening to music and sounds.
Human beings have been making music for thousands of years, and many theorists throughout history have proposed the idea that music is beneficial to the mind and body, in addition to being enjoyable.
Listening to and making music appears to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, stimulate various types of brain activity, and provide people with a sense of calmness, safety, or security.
Music therapy can promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain, help express feelings, enhance memory, improve communication, promote physical rehabilitation, help with stroke rehabilitation, assist with behavioral therapy, help in the treatment of substance abuse, and be useful in work with people who have developmental disabilities.
People can practice music therapy in a variety of ways, from listening to a piece of music and talking about the feelings it evokes to playing an instrument or writing songs as a method of personal expression.
No Judgement
Like other expressive therapies such as art therapy and dance therapy, the focus of music therapy is not on the end product, such as a musical composition, and people do not need to have prior experience with music to benefit from this type of therapy.
The therapeutic process is more focused on the process of listening to, creating, or thinking about music, and there are no right and wrong ways to do things.
