WHY MUSIC IMAGERY?

Music is a direct path into underlying feelings associated with Depression, Relational issues, Creative blocks, and Anxiety to name a few. Listening to music and drawing associated images is an effective container for expressing feelings, deeply understanding the origin of personal issues and finding intuitive ways to the working through and symptom relief process.

Music can be held as a “co-therapist” in the sessions and this is a great support for both therapist and client. The experiential activity of music and imagery deepens the client’s inner connection with present life and their family story.

Clients also have a tangible representation of their thoughts, feelings, associated images and changes held in their drawings. We can see the a thematic story told in a series of drawings. For many clients this collection offers a positive referencing of the changes made in the course of treatment.

Music and Imagery Therapy also evokes and releases much creative energy in the client and therapist which infuses the session and therapeutic relationship with a sense of safe play and exciting innovative ideas toward positive change.
