Did you know that music can help improve your mental health? Music Therapists work with people with a variety of mental illnesses to help them feel supported, improve self esteem, promote relaxation, and relieve anxiety. They are trained to assess and create treatment plans according to the needs of each individual, but if you’d like to use music more purposefully at home – start by paying attention to how certain songs or types of music make you feel. How fast are you breathing? Did your heart rate increase? Are you clenching your jaw? It’s more than just whether you like it or not!
