Really interesting in relation to #musictherapy where the musical skill of the therapist is a factor in the therapeutic relationship that has to be negotiated.

ICYMI - a new #musictherapy conversations episode out now. #playtherapy #musictherapy

Just saw a post on SM with a bloke skipping in time to music described as ‘music therapy’. If you’re curious about #musictherapy as a potential client/participant or prospective trainee, just to let you know, it’s a LOT more interesting than that.

New research seeking music therapists who have used rap and hip-hop in group practice. Pass it on!

This is why we need you Yésica or Nosica 🇨🇺 🏳️‍⚧️ I've been thinking about this thread so much since reading it yesterday.

Music doesn't do things to people. People do things to themselves and each other using music.

FYI the MT commission report is free even you're not an AMTA member. You can download it or even add it to your Google drive, it's 90+ pages.

1/ Truth is, many patients do not come to therapy to change. Not really.

They may say & think they want to change. It soon becomes evident they want to continue being exactly the person they have been, and living life in the same self-limiting ways, but 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 better doing it.
