Music to your ears
You don’t need a music therapist to receive benefits from listening to music. You do need to be careful. Each of us has a different reaction to different kinds of music. For example, some folks can’t stand Country music, some love it. If the music you are hearing evokes a feeling of safety and comfort, relaxation or inspiration, it’s most likely therapeutic. If it doesn’t, turn it off or put in your earplugs. It’s just excessive noise stressing your nervous system.—MR
