What effect does music have on emotions? #7

Title: Music Therapy can impact emotional trauma, mental and physical disabilities
Author: Jimmy Mincin
What I Learned:

  • Music therapy is said to "express what words cannot" with extreme emotions. 
  • It is considered to be a "relative" of psychoanalysis, traditional, on-the-couch therapy.
  • Music therapy can "promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain and express feeling.
  • Music therapy doesn't have to be wordless. With our without words, music therapy has the same effect.
  • Abigail Peace, a music therapist, has said that through music therapy sessions, a severely disabled patient can show extreme improvement 
  • Unofficial music therapy, just creating music, has been known to improve disabilities, too. Shell-shocked WWI and WWII veterans have shown improved morale after hearing music played at the vetran homes they were in.
  • I found a website (www.musictherapy.org) that can help me later on in this blog process.

  3. Your blog post is really good!! I also researched music therapy and how music can replace medicine for some people. I agree with music can do things words cannot. I think you found some great information here.
