343. Music Therapy for Grief: An Interview with Tim Ringgold


Listen Later

Does grief feel like you're missing a limb? Like phantom pain that won't go away? When someone dies, we experience what's called a "social amputation." We literally lose a piece of ourselves, and our brain keeps searching for that missing connection. The good news? There's a powerful healing tool you already use every day - music.

This week, I'm joined by board-certified music therapist Tim Ringgold for a conversation that opened my eyes to something I knew nothing about: how music can actually help us process grief. Tim brings not just professional expertise but deep personal understanding, having lost five of his best friends, his dad, and one of his daughters. His journey from aspiring rock star to music therapist began when he discovered that music was the only thing that brought him peace after experiencing profound loss.

Join us to discover why all humans are inherently musical, practical tools you can start using today to bring your mind to the present moment, and the role that music can play in your grief journey.
