Many people struggle with anxiety or depression these days. They may feel like they don’t know how to move forward and are afraid to express themselves and seek help, perhaps due to fear of stigma. Music therapy can work with these individuals to help them process their feelings in a unique way, which can build their self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence in their ability to cope. Songwriting, lyric analysis, improvisation, creating specific playlists, and singing, among other interventions, can relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression and provide a sense of purpose, control, and hope so they can live their best life!
