#44: Psychotherapy and Music Are the Same Thing


Listen Later

Therapy is music and music is therapy. They both help us connect with the deeper feelings and thoughts that reside in us but we aren’t aware of. They bring to the surface what’s hiding in the shadows of our psyche.

You know how a song makes you feel a certain way—uplifted, melancholy, spiritual, fun, etc.? This state of mind and body already exists within you but you don’t have conscious access to it. Music magically opens up the experience in a way you can consciously feel. This is why you’re drawn to certain music. Psychotherapy also delves into the shadowed parts of your psyche and brings their contents to your awareness. In both cases, we embark on a path to potential healing, growth, and wellbeing.

This episode explores the interconnections between problems such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit, trauma, relationship conflict, etc, on the one hand, and psychotherapy, music, physics, and mathematics, on the other.
