We had our first music therapy session today. We started our day with a guided imagery meditation, and completed an ice breaker to get to know each other's musical preferences. Our motto for the day was the Chinese proverb: "You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair." We then listened to and sang the song This is Me, which led to further discussion and song sharing. One mom shared a song that made her feel supported and she shared her memory of how she first found it. She also shared her thoughts on how music could be used more intentionally to support our everyday needs.
