In this course you will learn compelling new evidence that most mental health professionals don’t even know, about the biological and psychological impact of music. You will learn about music therapy-informed strategies that have been developed and tested over 30 years. Imagine a tool that may empower you to reverse the effects of personal trauma, so you can really enjoy your life again.

In this course you will:

Learn about 17 strategies you can use immediately to:

• manage stress

• regulate emotions

• support long-term mental health

  
  

These strategies are part of the process involved in the Music Medicine Protocol, listed as an Evidence-Based Practice. They can be used as a holistic alternative or a complementary regimen to medication. Do not discontinue any medication without consulting your physician. This is not a music therapy course.
