Music therapy: When music does more for you
You listen to music every day.
But it can do more than just accompany you. It can stabilize you, calm you down, and catch you emotionally. That's exactly what music therapy is all about: using music specifically for mental health and personal development.
Feeling instead of explaining.
Some feelings cannot be put into words.
In music therapy, you don't have to. You work with sounds, rhythms, and melodies, either actively or through conscious listening. No pressure to perform. No prior musical knowledge required. Music helps you perceive, regulate, and process emotions.
Active or receptive. Your pace, your vibe.
In active music therapy, you get creative yourself: playing, singing, experimenting. In receptive music therapy, you listen to music in a focused way and reflect on what it triggers in you. Both strengthen your self-awareness, reduce stress, and support emotional balance, especially in cases of anxiety, depression, or inner turmoil.
Why music therapy works.
Music speaks directly to your nervous system. Studies show that it increases well-being, reduces stress, and builds emotional resilience. Therapy facilities such as Gezeitenhaus therefore use music therapy specifically to complement psychotherapy.
Music therapy is not hype. It is a tool. And perhaps exactly what you need right now.
