How does music help us feel?
Kimberly Sena Moore Filed on March 10, 2021
As a music therapist, I’m used to thinking about and considering the impact music has on our everyday emotional lives.
When you think of how music changes the way you feel, What is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it a particular song, perhaps one of those “go-to” songs on your playlist? Or maybe your thoughts veer towards why you listen to music to feel good, to pump yourself up, or to help you navigate difficult feelings? Or perhaps it’s the more general idea that music is “your therapy”, something you turn to because it helps you feel better.
