Today we are doing a deep dive into music and its role in pain relief. This episode is being broken into two parts, the first the main production and the second an addendum to the main production where I share my story of a traumatic period in my childhood and how music has helped me to deal with that and acknowledge that pain. In this first part, Chris and I discuss core beliefs and the role that these play in shaping our interactions with the world. We delve into how significant trauma is in our lives and how easily it is in contemporary society to simply compartmentalise it. If this episode triggers you in any way, please reach out to your local crisis centre.
