Yes! She did a great job explaining music therapy and how incredibly broad it is! As a music therapist it’s SO HARD to explain to people that this is a real profession. And she said it best “there are NO two therapy session that look the same” I personally have worked mostly with ASD and other developmental disabilities. But there are SO MANY people that can benefit from a certified therapist working with them. ❤️

I love how Thomas keeps going mhm.. yeah... uh huh... yes...
Such an engaged listener! 💙

[ASLAnissaOfficial]

Ah!! I’m a board certified music therapist and I clicked this video SO FAST!

[Pxales]

I hope you do a video on art therapy soon!! I’ve been so curious about what that’s like 🎨

[pandaqueen]

When i was in the hospital we did a lot of music therapy and to be honest it was my favorite group that we did.💜

[dixielott]

can you do one of these on art therapy! I'm training to be one and would love one of these vids on that 😁

[alexandrawilson]

Wow this is a great resource!!! I'm a music therapist and it was great to see all the concrete examples! I find people are often confused about what music therapy looks like since what we do is often so different from what people think of when they think of "therapeutic" music. Thanks for this and for featuring a board-certified music therapist in your explanation!

[HJEM]

Omgomg I'm studying music therapy!!

[clairejkay]

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I'm a music therapy intern and a real problem within the music therapy profession is advocacy and misinterpretation of what music therapists do. You did an amazing job showcasing a real music therapist (btw to viewers, she was an NMT music therapist meaning she has pursued continuing education in how music effects the brain on a neurological level and how to use that with people suffering from TBI, stroke, neurological disorders, etc)

[Beccination]

do one on art therapy, dance therapy and theatre therapy :)

[poppyhwa]

I'm so glad this collab came to life! I have anxiety issue so I love Sanders Sides, and Kati's videos helped me so much in so many ways. Thanks for the vid, as always.

Oh my goodness! Two of my favorite Youtubers discussing an underrated topic that is so close to my heart (and ears💕🎶)!

So excited to watch Thomas’ video about Steven Universe/Relationships after this.

"Anxiety and stress"
This lady just described my life

[FineFeatheredHomestead]

Music bridges the reaction and feeling centers of the mind - which is very helpful when used strategically. For example, listening to triggering songs locks me in the sad emotions; not helpful. It also heightens the sensitivity if the reaction center, which us not helpful with CPTSD. However, it is very useful to mindfully consider what songs, styles of music, and music events fill us with wonder and delight or joy, or creativity, even inspiration and resilience! For me, I joined a symphony chorus, attend the SF Symphony and ballet, and no longer listen to certain songs that are melancholy. If a song does trigger me, I notice it, and see if I can discern why. Following that with journal venting can decrease its ability to trigger in the future, and keep it in the cognitive arena. Jazz, classical, Celtic, and yodeling classics are really great!

I have worked mostly with the elderly and those living in skilled nursing facilities. There are a lot of amazing tricks that music can do to help people. It's endless.

I’ve been to a psychiatric hospital and there is a music therapist on the ward. For my depression/ Borderline Personality disorder she helped me understand how I can listen to music in a certain way to calm my mood as well as how I could use music to express my emotions to others like if I couldn’t find the words I could use a song instead. For my anorexia and now bulimia she helped with meal support with music. She is really great and specializes each session to suit everyone

I remember in a Younow stream a while ago you asked who we'd like to see on the channel. I said Thomas Sanders and you said that you've met him and that you would like to do a video with him. So, I was so excited to see this video! ❤

[catherinewhitaker]

I'm going to college for music therapy next year, so I'm definitely going to save this video in my favorites!
