Hey beautiful people around the world! How're you all doing? Today let's have a little chat over Music therapy. What, how and why we should think of it? So let's begin.
The relationship between human and music is a unique and powerful one. Music has the ability to evoke emotions and memories, and it can have a profound effect on our mental and emotional wellbeing. But why does music make us feel good?
Music and Your Brain
Music activates the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin. These chemicals play a role in regulating mood, emotions, and motivation. Music can also provide a sense of connection and belonging, which can be especially important for those struggling with mental health issues.
What's Music Therapy?
Music therapy is a form of therapy that uses music to address emotional, cognitive, social, and physical needs of individuals. Music therapists use music to improve communication, reduce stress, and promote healing. Music therapy can be used to help people with a wide range of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.
For those struggling with depression or other mental health issues, music therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and growth. Listening to music can help to distract from negative thoughts, reduce stress, and improve mood. Music therapy can also help to promote self-expression and improve communication, which can be especially beneficial for those who find it difficult to express themselves verbally.
If you're feeling sad, listening to music can be a great way to lift your mood. Here are some great songs to listen to when you're feeling down:
"Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson"Brave" by Sara Bareilles"Not Afraid Anymore" by Halsey"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor"Brave" by Jennifer Lopez"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross

So the list can be different to each, what works for one person may not work for another. However, we hope that this list will provide you with some inspiration and comfort during your difficult times.
In conclusion, music has the power to evoke emotions and memories, and it can have a profound effect on our mental and emotional wellbeing. Music therapy is a form of therapy that uses music to address emotional, cognitive, social, and physical needs of individuals. For those struggling with depression or other mental health issues, music therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and growth, not only because it's so close and common to all of us but also because music defines our life and identity to a great length by consistently being engaged to our daily activities.
