Jump to Course Contents
Description
Singer/songwriter and piano player John McAndrew takes us on a musical and spiritual journey from self-centeredness to humility, using stories and songs. This journey is a long and difficult one in recovery. Recent studies show that music can reach the parts of the brain that are linked to addiction and can function as an integral part of recovery. This experiential session demonstrates how music and music therapy can be applied in a variety of treatment settings to bring about therapeutic change.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to describe the brain in simple terms and how it is affected by music in three ways.
- Participants will be able to identify three ways to increase thoughtfulness, joy, and celebration of recovery from substance use disorders and mental illness.
- Participants will be able to summarize the difference music makes in a recovering person's journey and be able to show at least two examples of this to their clients.
