53 min - Episode #19: To All My School Music Therapist Friends....
It’s officially May which means we’re counting down until the end of the school year. This is the final leg of the race for teachers and I've seen so many encouragement type posts that start with “to all my teacher friends...”. That got me thinking, school based music therapists need some encouragement too! We’ve compiled a short (but power packed) list of some things to help get you through the final push. You've got this!

- Stress Cycle, Connection and Rest | #16
3 Components of Burnout (coined by Herbert Freudenerger in 1975)
Emotional exhaustion
Depersonalization
Decreased send of accomplishment
Stress vs. Stressor
Stress: neurological and physiological response when you encounter a stressor (often includes heightened awareness, increased heart rate and blood pressure, etc.).
Stressor: what activates the stress response in the body (anything you see, hear, smell, touch, taste or even imagine that could harm you)
External stressors may be: work, family, cultural norms and expectations, experiences of discrimination, etc..
Internal stressors may be: self-criticism, body image, identity, etc…
How to complete the stress cycle:
Physical Movement (~ 20-60 minutes most days of the week)
Deep Breathing (deep, slow breathing being sure to breath all the way out until your belly contracts) - this can down regulate the stress response
Positive Social Interaction
Laughter - full belly, can’t breath laughter
Affection - deep connection with a loving presence (20 second hug; 6 second kiss, etc.)
A Big Ol’ Cry
Creative Expression

36 min - Episode # 15: A Discussion - Curriculum, Philosophy, and Approach to Music TherapyToday we sit down as a team to ask big questions about our theoretical orientations from our curriculum to the current state of our profession. We lean into this conversation in an effort to learn from each other and begin the conversation about the future of our profession. We start with looking back at our undergraduate curriculum and experience and build from there. We hope you enjoy and are encouraged to look at your own theoretical orientations and consider those of other music therapists. There is much to talk about and much to learn. Let’s start the conversation!1 hr 2 min
