Our creative, exceptional music therapists are what makes Get In Tune great. We wanted to start this year off by sharing, in the words of their clients, how their passion and dedication create incredible impact:
“I’ve been using the strategy of listening to songs more mindfully by reading along with the lyrics when I come across songs that I’m really relating to or fixating on. It helps me get in touch with what emotions I’m actually feeling and how I’m using the music to change my mood.”
“I can’t wait to make a playlist for my son about my recovery journey so that he can understand what his dad went through one day. I’ve saved songs we’ve used in group and shared with each other and I know I can keep thinking and adding more as I finish up my last week here.”
“Music gives me a place for the intensity of life to be less overwhelming.”
“Music therapy reminded me that I have the power to be creative anytime, anywhere.”
“I almost feel like I forgot music existed when I was using and I’ve been a music person my whole life. This class on one of my first days here was a huge wake-up call that I need music back in my life and it feels like a bigger wake-up call every week that I need to get back in touch with music. I know that I’ve relearned and learned new ways to use music for my mental health.”
“There's no judgement in music. It's the safest place for me.”
“Music is giving me the space to find me again.”
“I feel like I lost my connection with music when I was drinking but now, I’m excited to see what I can learn from music therapy every week. I love lyric analysis and it really does help me connect with and figure out what I’m feeling.”
“Music has been helping me reconnect to my inner child without judgement but through the lens of empathy.”
“Music helps me to explore the big questions and feelings about life and still keep it fun.”
“I've learned the difference in music between validating my emotions versus wallowing in them.”
“Music isn’t just therapy, it’s a piece of art that is the product of your therapeutic process.”
“Music helps me to feel my own value and to dance in my growing self worth.”
“Music helps me to remember to slow down because I deserve the space to feel it all.”
“I'm really starting to see so many little great moments in our sessions. Even when [the client] has hard days or we have a session where I don't see as much progress as you might, I see how excited [the client] is to spend time with you and how much more [the client] engages.”
