Listening to the music for at least 20 minutes each day can help slow down your heart rate and other body functions and can help you focus on your feelings. Research results and clinical experiences attest to the viability of music therapy even in those who are resistive to other treatment approaches. Music is a form of sensory stimulation that provokes responses due to the familiarity, predictability and feelings of security associated with it.
Music therapy is also powerful, but, at the same time, non-threatening medium.
Music therapists use music activities, both instrumental and vocal, which are designed to facilitate changes that are non-musical in nature. Music therapy programs are custom designed for each individual. Music therapists work as part of a multidisciplinary team of healers. Both individual and group therapy are offered based on the needs of the individual.
