MUSIC AS A THERAPY

Hello Everyone,

 

I find that listening to music when I drive is very therapeutic.

 

Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way.

 

I'm not a huge listener of the radio but have digitalised my favourite music into different USB sticks

and play them all the time. I have a Live Concert stick, Different bands stick and a 1970's to 2000 stick.

 

The music has a calming effect and I couldn't imagine driving without it.

 

It is up very loud and I sing very loud and don't mind other drivers seeing that.

Hi GypsyAvalon,

 

Yes absolutely music is a therapy. They actually have trained music therapists specifically for that reason. What I listen to depends on my mood. But if I am in a state of panic or anxiety I tend to listen to breathing exercises or the sound of rain/thunder/crickets. I use the calm app for that.

Hi Bob,

 

Its great you can use music as a therapy.

My mood also depends on what music I listen too.

 

Blessed Be.
