Listening to music can be one of the most beautiful and powerful experiences in life. It can make you laugh. It can make you cry. It plays an incredible role in enhancing your memory and learning. Music can be heard or even ignored in the physical world, but yet, it can reach the very depths of your heart and soul in a mere split second.

Because of the emotional and spiritual power of music, it plays a very important role in healing. It also can be an easy “trigger” for painful memories or programmed responses, so it must be approached carefully.

AbuseConsultants.com now offers a music CD for you, specifically created by our clinical director. We encourage you to listen to comforting music frequently. The use of music in combination with art and journaling as trauma processing tools is a particularly powerful combination and can be very effective for healing.

Please note: Music can be very powerful, so please assess your personal safety and emotional stability carefully before listening to any music that would be upsetting to you. If you are surprised or destabilized by the amount of emotionally charged material that surfaced while you were listening to any music, please get appropriate therapeutic support as quickly as possible.

If you would like to process your feelings and any emotional content that have surfaced from listening to music, please consider a clinical consultation.
