Music Therapy Awareness Month (yes, I know I'm late!!)

Soooooo I know MT Awareness Month was in March, but it's been soooooo nuts since then! Work has been picking up at my practice, which is great! But that means I have a bit less time for doing stuff like this, which is a drag lol


Also, I needed a bit of a break; I posted a music therapy every term a day for the entire month, which I've been doing for the last 6 years or so, but this year I decided to do it as short videos instead of just text. And everyone who makes content knows that a 1 min video takes longer than that to film, edit, and post haha


I'm super glad I did it though. It was a big challenge for me to put myself out there so much, but it was a fun thing to do and it taught me a bunch of stuff, which is always nice! Personal growth doesn't always have to be excruciating!


ANYWAYS! If you don't follow me on soial media, here is a snapshot video a did to recap the terms. No definitions because that would be about a 45 min video all told lol


Fun little video listing off all the definitions I talked about over the month!

And here are some photos of the definitions from the posts I've done in the past with some overlap. If you'd like to hear all the defintions, you can find me on TikTok, or Instagram or Facebook.

Music therapy definitions for: Music Therapy, Music Therapist, Goal, Intervention, Objective, Contact Song and Supervision
Music Therapy definitions for: Iso-Princible, Entrainment, Psychoanalytic Music Therapy, Song Circle, Musiking, and Reframing
Music Therapy definitions for: Music Life Plan, Musical Sedation, Transcendence, Lining Out, Resistance, Success Oriented, and Lyric Rewrite
Music Therapy definitions for: Playing by Number, Empathy, Reflexivity, Breathing, Active Music Therapy, Receptive Music Therapy, and Goodbye Song


















































Did you know about any of those terms? Wait, lets back that up a bit; did you even know that music therapy was? Let me know in the comments :)


Remember - you're worth the time it takes to be comfy in your own skin <3
