Dementia Decoded

Stress & Anxiety Relief through Music Therapy


Listen Later

Feeling anxious and stressed as a caregiver? You're not alone. Music therapy offers a powerful, at-home solution to manage stress. Studies show listening to music you enjoy lowers anxiety and promotes relaxation.

Similar to mood-altering medications, music can positively impact both emotions and the body.

The key? Find music that resonates with you! Take a "sound bath" and experiment with different genres. Aim for slower tempos (around 60 beats per minute) to induce calmness. Nature sounds, classical music, or even light jazz can be effective.

Streaming services offer playlists based on mood, making it easy to find the perfect stress-relieving soundscape.

So put on your favorite tunes, create playlists for different activities, and discover the power of music to transform your well-being!

Our Guest:

Bill Protzman 

Bill’s fascination with the near-medicinal effects of music has caused him to study the topic widely and stay constantly engaged with the most recent research. You can trust his 20+ years’ experience teaching people just like you and your team how to use music functionally in everyday situations:

  • Improve performance at work
  • Strengthen communication and relationship skills
  • Take better care of ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically.
  • Bill’s work was recognized by the National Council for Behavioral Healthcare with an “Oscar” for Artistic Expression in 2014.
