What if the most powerful tool for your mental health was already in your ears?

In this episode of Therapy is Dope, Alicia sits down with Dr. Barbara Minton — psychologist, neuroscientist, musician, and Diplomate in Quantitative EEG — to break down the real science behind music as medicine. This isn't just about putting on a playlist when you're sad. Dr. Minton explains why music works, how it changes your brain, and what you can actually do with that information starting today.

In this episode, we cover:

• How music directly affects your nervous system and brain states
• What neurofeedback is and how it works alongside music to rewire the brain
• The role of frequency-based healing techniques in mental health treatment
• Why music is one of the most accessible tools for anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery
• Dr. Minton's neuroscience-informed album Calm the Storm — and how it was designed specifically to support the brain's healing process

Whether you're a therapist, someone navigating anxiety or trauma, or just a person who's ever felt moved by a song and wondered why — this conversation will change the way you think about what you listen to.
