In this COVID landscape, The Mental health conversation has increased. Like in BC. With society facing things like social isolation and a lack of human interaction. People are looking for ways to boost there mental health or just ways to get into a headspace. Music Therapy can be one of those avenues for you.
What is Music therapy? What it Is is a type of therapy that mainly involves Music(usually classical) In the activities of Singing, listening or moving to music as a means to Therapeutically heal form things like trauma or just help express themselves if they are not good at speaking or writing.
This is ultimately to better themselves and apply the skills to use the skills that they learned in therapy to other facets of there lives. I find this really interesting. In mainstream media there is a big spotlight on therapist in the form of counseling. But this it is not really being talked about.
So that is why I am here. Music Therapy is used for depression, anxiety, insomnia and dementia. In BC there is a resource you can use. And it is called Music Therapy Association Of British Columbia. You can find many things there such as , How to become a Music therapist, The history of it and how you can find one. I have personally found the resource very useful because it has a clear interface to navigate.
This sort of thing is very undervalued by society in my opinion and should be explored here more. and you learn a lot form it. I believe in sharing this resource with you. We can all bring a better more complete view of mental health that is only been really talked out history in BC. I invite you to check it out as well happy reading.
