Thanks for positive comments about my story and song yesterday! We made it to our destination!
I hope, if you’ve followed me here, you are aware that music therapy is an evidence based allied health field with credentialed professionals serving individual needs through music (listening, singing, creating, moving). In my work, I have helped create playlists and I’ve written songs with clients to help them in moments of stress like I had yesterday. I’ve helped them move to release stress and also to promote mobility goals. I’ve worked with clients to find words to express feelings either through an existing song or by writing their own. All through a therapeutic process that establishes rapport, builds trust and supports individuals and, many times, their families.
Yesterday, I helped myself but board certified music therapists help their clients every day!
I love my friend Miriam’s idea that I could have got my guitar out on the plane and got everybody singing! My friend, Susan, pointed out that “Love is a Battlefield” was playing in the background of my video - which is pretty funny! The music at the Detroit airport (playing while flights got sorted) was a great mix and I hope it helped my fellow passengers when we got off the plane. Again, here is to the power of music! 🎶
