Music and Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy and music are not dissimilar,

Requiring a trained ear, improvisation, and disciplined pursuit.

Along with a deep knowing of dynamics,

Forte might not be appropriate there when the arrangement needs something soft.

And the dissonance,

The awful, interesting, uneasy dissonance.

Asking to be relieved, asking for harmony.

At times, the harmony comes and perhaps along with it, some deeper inhales.

It feels so wonderful to resolve.

Or, the chord hangs in the air,

Alive with tension, but alive nonetheless.

What’s its meaning and what do we do now?

I’m not sure, but let’s play it back.

Your music reminds me of

This sounds like

You often play in this key when

You’re still composing

What’s the next phrase?
