Music Therapies
    Music therapies are often used in a variety of medical settings. In the bio-psycho-social approach, there are many ways that an individual may heal. Ever felt "connected" to a piece of music or "in tune" on a sad day when a melancholic song occurs? Or on the converse, more "upbeat" when there is a strong beat, horns and drums going? Music ever make you reflect? Well, it should. Music invokes emotions and mindfulness on the music at hand. Being centered entirely on the music at hand would then delp decrease anxiety and subsequent complications, such as pain. This has been proven in a variety of studies with a vvriety of music in many mental health conditions, especially over the past decade. How doe music influence and affect you?
