How Music Therapy in Depression Helps? Know with AnyaWellbeing

Music therapy is a creative and expressive form of therapy that can be beneficial in the treatment of depression. It involves using music and musical activities to address emotional, psychological, and social needs of individuals. Here are some ways in which music therapy can be helpful in managing depression:

1. Emotional expression: Music can serve as a powerful tool for expressing and processing emotions. It can provide a safe outlet for individuals to channel and release their feelings, which can be particularly helpful for individuals who find it difficult to express their emotions verbally.

2. Mood enhancement: Listening to or engaging in uplifting and positive music can help improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms. Music has the ability to evoke emotions, trigger memories, and create a sense of pleasure, which can counteract feelings of sadness or despair.

3. Stress reduction: Engaging with music has been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Listening to calming music, engaging in rhythmic activities, or participating in guided music relaxation exercises can help individuals manage stress levels, which are often heightened in depression.

4. Social connection: Group music therapy sessions can foster a sense of community and connection among individuals with depression. Participating in musical activities with others can promote social interaction, reduce feelings of isolation, and increase a sense of belonging.

5. Cognitive stimulation: Music therapy can stimulate cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and executive functioning. Engaging in musical activities that require concentration, learning new songs or instruments, or engaging in improvisation can help improve cognitive skills and focus, which can be impaired in depression.

It's important to note that while music therapy can be a valuable adjunctive treatment for depression. It is recommended to work with a trained music therapist who can tailor the therapy to individual needs and integrate it into a comprehensive treatment plan.

holy shit I did NOT realize how popular my "I will remove my teeth, for I want to remain kind despite my anger" quote is. I just googled it for fun to see what would come up, a bunch of people are quoting it not knowing who its from, an artist called Kuma made an album titled that, so bizzare

still trying to figure out how to exactly draw these lil guys so more doodles wahoo! ( plus oc woa- )

[bardnuts]

did you guys know a significant antidote to social anxiety is accepting that you are annoying sometimes, and that your annoying qualities are not going to make your friends abandon you

Like, I think of social anxiety as a kind of failure of object permanence. It's this idea that your bonds with and value to other people is inherently fragile.

but actually in my experience it takes a lot before someone who really cares about you would even consider not caring about you anymore. like, a lot. bc guess what: human care and friendship is real and also one of the most powerful forces in the universe. being annoyed at each other is like one of the fundamental pillars of human relationships

hey you like stepfather jace, but what about

actually adaine's father, jace

adaine, who has the one weird elvish ending, that the rest of the family doesn't wen/wyn versus adaine's -e.

and jace, who has the same -e suffix.

adaine, who has always felt different from her family and she *is* different. she's not an abernant

and jace, who maybe doesn't know it until the abernants leave. and now he's trying to pursue a custody case bc he's a better father than his or angwyn. and yet, he's still trying to ressurect a dead goddess and is in trouble w/ porter

idk i just think it would be an interesting wrinkle for them

Hey. You stop that (please never stop).

I'm rewatching sophomore year and so far (up to end of ep 11), Ragh has specified three times that it was Jace he saw talking to Arianwen. About what? Well, it's Arianwen telling him that Adaine's his daughter, obviously.

And at first Jace is fully ready to just scoop her up and take her in but then he finds out Jawbone beat him to the punch and Jawbone - who is an ex-drug dealer/addict with so much past - seems like a much better father than he could ever be. But he is never gonna let a kid think he abandoned them, even if it would be for the best.

Trying to figure out how he's going to go about this without making Adaine's life even worse. Meanwhile Porter's pissed because Jace is just so distracted. Like, one of the good things about Jace is that he doesn't really have anything serious going on in his life and now he has a daughter?

Anyway, Adaine ends up with two dads that love her (Jawbone and Jace in some weird shared custody arrangement) and maybe the events of junior year get avoided and maybe I have another thing to add to my to-write list.

Might be an unpopular opinion but was thinking today about how I'm not sure "neurotypical" is a thing in the way that it's talked about on the social media I've been seeing. Not talking in the medical sense here, moreso reflecting on the use of "neurotypical" as a buzzword these days.

It's not that every person has a diagnosable illness/disease/chemical imbalance/etc but I do think every single person has something going on with them that impacts their judgement, emotions, or actions in a way that causes them to fall out of line with the cookie cutter "neurotypical" expectations at times.

Do y'all really know anybody that doesn't have any behavioral idiosyncracies? Anybody you've spent real time with that doesn't have any instances where they failed to manage something in a "normal" and "typical" way?

Everyone undergoes challenging events that alter their interactions with the world around them, even the people that didnt get the added bonus of medically diagnosable factors. I feel that creating such a loosely applied neurotypical vs neurodivergent divide is an excuse to have a lack of empathy for each other by deciding from the get go that a person from one side will never be able to relate to and understand the other. It's easier to disregard a person entirely if you're able to quickly "other" them.

I think it's a dangerous mindset to get into because you simply can't diagnose whether someone is medically neurotypical or divergent at a glance and people shouldn't have to divulge their personal medical history to everyone they meet to get increased understanding and allowance in social settings. For example, if you have to know whether someone's autistic/depressed/OCD/etc first to determine whether you'll be giving them any leeway for being difficult to deal with in a social setting then you're making an active decision that hinges on that person being open about their medical history, not necessarily being accepting and gracious to people as a rule. The fact is that you just won't have that info and history for every person you meet.

I feel like if we all worried less about who goes in what box and more about extending politeness and patience to everyone in general then we could all have an easier time out there. We don't need to jump to the conclusion that every negative interaction we have with someone is due to a lack of care or malicious intent. Sometimes people just make mistakes and act without realizing the negative impact of what they're doing.

Dear people with hyperhidrosis: let's hold hands. Lets high five. I do not care if they're sweaty. Let's hug. Let's cuddle. I do not care if your armpits are swamps and smell bad. You can take off your shoes and socks even if your feet are very sweaty. I do not care. You deserve comfort too. People with hyperhidrosis I Love You.

had a bad day at work yesterday

[patron-saint-of-emesis]

todays concepts to grapple with are “accept Done over Perfect” and also “change is an inevitable constant”, both are very good sentiments that will better my life when i accept them, but it also means not restarting my crochet project and to stop staring at my face so hard in the mirror, and ima be real both of those r suck

I went through my old photo album and found a bunch of pictures from over a year and a half ago when I was dating my ex (the one who cheated on me). I pulled them all out of the album and.......yeah

Anyway, this is a part of what healing can look like:
