Ep 34: Jenna and Music Therapy
Manage episode 409996737 series 3557675
If you are like me, you have personally found music therapeutic in your own life: it calms you when you are stressed, spiritually encourages you, and energizes you when you need to clean the house. But did you know it is an actual therapy used to manage trauma and other issues in the field of mental health? In this episode, Jenna shares her experience as a music therapist and how it was applied to unattended teens at the southern border.
