Yes! She did a great job explaining music therapy and how incredibly broad it is! As a music therapist it’s SO HARD to explain to people that this is a real profession. And she said it best “there are NO two therapy session that look the same” I personally have worked mostly with ASD and other developmental disabilities. But there are SO MANY people that can benefit from a certified therapist working with them. ❤️
ASL Anissa I'm so glad you say that!! I'm only 16 but my big dream is to become a music therapist
May I ask a question? I have Major Depressive Disorder and am dealing with a lot in my life. I've been thinking a lot about like art therapy and music therapy because it sounds interesting--is it something for someone like me? Do you think I would benefit as well?
Shantelle Piki the short answer is Yes! I think it is worth a shot. I will say that like any therapy, finding the right therapist is the most important part. If you try it and it doesn’t feel right, don’t be afraid to ask for a referral to another music therapist or art therapist. Sometimes people just don’t fit well together. But yes, music therapy has been incredible useful for people with depression and other psychological struggles. I’d definitely suggest it!
YAY!! I am so glad you liked how she explained it!! It was so interesting to try out a few techniques with her :) xoxo
i am planning on majoring in music therapy and psychology!!:)
I love how Thomas keeps going mhm.. yeah... uh huh... yes...
Such an engaged listener! 💙
I'm noticing this so much more now that you pointed it out. Lol.
Thomas: “hello every body!” Me: 😍😊😊😊😊 “HEYYYYYYY!”
Kati “ let’s say Thomas and I are dating” me: NOOOO GET AWAY MINE 😤😆
I, going to keep talking to myself.... I should be doing these breathing exercises because I’mFANGIRLING so hard because THOMAS AND KATI
I hope you do a video on art therapy soon!! I’ve been so curious about what that’s like 🎨
Sheepishness I definitely hope that as well.
I use art as therapy.
Ah!! I’m a board certified music therapist and I clicked this video SO FAST!
oh man I didn't know that -- I'm a music therapist too, and I use your videos with my clients all the time!!!
Abby Ritter really!? That’s awesome! Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm using your Santa Baby video with a group of 3 young women I work with as a guide for a performance in our holiday concert -- they all use ASL as their primary form of communication and so they're using your video to learn the song and perform it in a few weeks!
So I started listening to music deemed for therapy at certain herz levels. Some for anxiety and depression, another for focus. It actually seems to be helping me. Is this similar to music therapy? Is this a placebo effect because I "want to get better" so I'm believing it type of thing? I played instruments when I was younger so I'm aware that music has affects on many areas of the brain but I'd never heard of music therapy prior..
When i was in the hospital we did a lot of music therapy and to be honest it was my favorite group that we did.💜
"Anxiety and stress"
This lady just described my life
Ooh Thomas!
I know!! yay!! xoxo
nice pfp lmao
can you do one of these on art therapy! I'm training to be one and would love one of these vids on that 😁
I am trying to!!! I have had a hard time finding someone who will be on camera! But still looking :) xoxo
Wow this is a great resource!!! I'm a music therapist and it was great to see all the concrete examples! I find people are often confused about what music therapy looks like since what we do is often so different from what people think of when they think of "therapeutic" music. Thanks for this and for featuring a board-certified music therapist in your explanation!
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I'm a music therapy intern and a real problem within the music therapy profession is advocacy and misinterpretation of what music therapists do. You did an amazing job showcasing a real music therapist (btw to viewers, she was an NMT music therapist meaning she has pursued continuing education in how music effects the brain on a neurological level and how to use that with people suffering from TBI, stroke, neurological disorders, etc)
Oh my goodness! Two of my favorite TH-camrs discussing an underrated topic that is so close to my heart (and ears💕🎶)!
So excited to watch Thomas’ video about Steven Universe/Relationships after this.
I'm so glad this collab came to life! I have anxiety issue so I love Sanders Sides, and Kati's videos helped me so much in so many ways. Thanks for the vid, as always.
do one on art therapy, dance therapy and theatre therapy :)
Omgomg I'm studying music therapy!!
YAY!! xoxo
AHHHHH MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ARE TOGETHER TALKING ABOUT MY FAVORITE SUBJECT. i really wanna go into music therapy and psychology:)
I want to hug Thomas so bad
me too tbh
My 2 favourite people!!! Love you both Kati and Thomas!!
Music bridges the reaction and feeling centers of the mind - which is very helpful when used strategically. For example, listening to triggering songs locks me in the sad emotions; not helpful. It also heightens the sensitivity if the reaction center, which us not helpful with CPTSD. However, it is very useful to mindfully consider what songs, styles of music, and music events fill us with wonder and delight or joy, or creativity, even inspiration and resilience! For me, I joined a symphony chorus, attend the SF Symphony and ballet, and no longer listen to certain songs that are melancholy. If a song does trigger me, I notice it, and see if I can discern why. Following that with journal venting can decrease its ability to trigger in the future, and keep it in the cognitive arena. Jazz, classical, Celtic, and yodeling classics are really great!
Victoria Lewis I like the suggestion of journaling when something triggers that sort of response. I really like this comment
Sharing my own experience, I’ve found that making playlists specifically curated for times when I feel down has helped me. I haven’t had a way to describe it but it feels like it activates something in me that helps me to have resilience. I specifically choose songs that can serve as a vehicle for me speaking to myself kindly, gently, when I’m upset or feeling low on self worth. I choose stuff like Sleeping at Last and Vienna Teng... songs that carry messages that I want to deliver to myself when i need them.
I know there are some people who find listening to sad, angsty, or venty music to be cathartic, but I feel like I can’t get that catharsis out of it most of the time.
At one point, i heard some songs that really triggered some bad feelings, and felt like they were a dangerous zone to venture into. I put them into a playlist I titled “toxic waste- tread with caution” and I don’t really know why I did that. I guess I just wanted to isolate them and identify why they affected me. And also I put them in a playlist for the purposes of not listening to them unless I wanted to venture into mucky waters.
when I took the songs that triggered me and put them into a playlist, it kind of took away their shock power or surprise, which in a way, lessened their effect on me.
I’ve been to a psychiatric hospital and there is a music therapist on the ward. For my depression/ Borderline Personality disorder she helped me understand how I can listen to music in a certain way to calm my mood as well as how I could use music to express my emotions to others like if I couldn’t find the words I could use a song instead. For my anorexia and now bulimia she helped with meal support with music. She is really great and specializes each session to suit everyone
I have worked mostly with the elderly and those living in skilled nursing facilities. There are a lot of amazing tricks that music can do to help people. It's endless.
I remember in a Younow stream a while ago you asked who we'd like to see on the channel. I said Thomas Sanders and you said that you've met him and that you would like to do a video with him. So, I was so excited to see this video! ❤
THOMAS????
YES!! xoxo
Right!?!?!?!?!
I'm going to college for music therapy next year, so I'm definitely going to save this video in my favorites!
OMG IM LIVING
THOMAS SANDERSSSSS
I actually really want to be a music therapist! So this is a big help!
You should do a video on aroma therapy! I think it helps alot if you know how to properly exexute it
I got so excited when I saw this video go up!!! I’m currently studying music therapy in college and most people I talk to have no clue what it is. I’m happy to help them understand but it’s also great to have this out there to spread the word and advocate!
Thomas just "mhm"ing after everything that is said.
Happy to see music therapy getting recognition like this!😍
This is so lovely!!! I think music therapy would be amazing to do with a friend
I'm a music therapy major and I just got into your videos and I never clicked on a video so fast!
Two of my favorite positive people helping us with even more information and videos! Thank you for this insight!
Can you make a video on how depression affects relationships?
I’m so glad Thomas and Illymations led me to your channel, Kati!!!
Music therapy helped me so much I can't even explain.
I love you Kati. Thank you for how much you've helped me with my arithmomania
AHHH! Two of my favs. Love both of you guys so much
Who else is only here because THOMAS!!!!!
katie being a smooth devil with ole tommy boy I see ;^)
Hand on stomach during deep breathing makes sense, but I'm curious about the reasoning for the other hand on the shoulder.
esteelhammer it’s because your shoulders shouldn’t rise when you are doing breathing warm ups, the only thing that should expand is your diaphragm.
YES! Thank you so much for this video!
Hi Kati & Tom , fantastic , I would like to also mention to everyone to try an instrument , it may seem daunting at first , like playing a guitar for the first time your fingers may hurt , but take it slow. If keyboards are your grove , then have fun , for the beginner in music exploration , I suggest an inexpensive "arranger keyboard" they have onboard rhythms and all kinds of sound and they are really reasonable in price , often less than 150.00 or less. That would be fine to get you going. Start by pressing a key and hear the sound , try another and notice the difference. Next step would be press 3 white key together / every other one. That is a chord , any 3 white keys when played together is a simple triad or chord. If you know where to find a C note and press every other 2 you have just played a C Maj. chord !! Congrats. Keep that same finger structure and go UP one note >Dm>Em>F Maj.>G Maj.>Am >B diminished. Congrats , you have just played the entire chord set for the key of C. Now do that with left hand and key a melody using your right hand. Hear what sounds good to you.
Like Kati and her guest mentioned , music is not meant to be structured , music is meant for fun.
Thanks for making this video , when you hear , "music calms the savage beast" , it is so very true. If you find yourself down , pick up an instrument and make noise , as long as you are happy , the rest ( mastering of art ) will come in time.
To quote Kati Morton , use music to help you have a "Healthy Mind and a Healthy Body"
Take care , thanks to Kati and Sean and there guest , I wish you all a Happy Holiday Season , Gary
Hey Kati, can you answer or maybe do a video on this if you have tine? How do you deal with anxiety at work and leave work at work and not bring that anxiety home with you? I have bad anxiety in general but work is causing it to be bad to the point I'm having panick attacks at work. And I'm constantly thinking about work and if I did this or that etc. So how can I leave work at work?
I found the best therapy.
TH-cam Therapy.
Because it’s free
It contains music
And it contains the reasons why I stand where I stand
Love this! Thank you!
Yesss!!! I love Thomas 💕 so happy he is in your channel
What a brilliant topic for a video. Thank you!
Oh my gosh! This has to be one of my favorite videos from you! Thank you so much for having that sweet music therapist on! I have been struggling trying to find real honest information about music therapy. I’m thinking about majoring in music therapy but I’m not sure. This is so awesome! I love love love music thank you so much
This is spectacular!!! I'm a board-certified music therapist and I'm SO HAPPY THAT THIS VIDEO EXISTS!
My brother used to do music therapy when we were kids. I never understood what they were doing because I was always in another room, so this is really interesting
This really put a smile on my face! This was a wonderful video, thank you
You guys are excellent breathers. I enjoyed this.
I feel so emotional to see Thomas doing this exercises. I don't know why, but I feel just that way. 💕
oh my gosh...my 14 year old autistic daughter loves him!...i have to share this with her
I love this!! And i love drums!! Thank you Kati!!
This channel is so amazingly helpful, thank you! I found myself doing the breathing exercises with you guys. : )
this is so cool! so glad i could finally see your video on this!
I think for ppl like me with PTSD, anxiety and depression this is very powerful. Especialy when you do music and produce music. This could turn to a inspirational session for songwriting and get in through it. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ thank u three u were wonderful loved it.
This was so amazing and fun, thank you!!
Great video guys! I love when my 2 favorite people of all time come together to make a video!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! It really helps people understand what music therapy is, and examples of interventions that are used.
That was a great video! The dynamic of the people involved put a smile on my face. I had a psychotic episode earlier this year and since then I'm informing myself a lot about mental health. Your videos are very informative and I really appreciate your work. Keep it up!!
As a music therapist I was so stoked to see this! Everything was explained so well :)
This is such an interesting topic, thank you for making a video on it! X
I appreciate this video so much! I studied music therapy for 3 semesters before switching to physical therapy but she did a great job explaining everything!
Oh my gosh Thomas ❤️❤️
I almost wanted to be a music therapist! It helped me when I was little and think it's truly amazing! Great video! Thanks Kati!
This is great! I'm studying music therapy and I love it and this video was a really good respresentation of what music therapy can do.
This is such a unique topic! I love it!
This is so cool! I’m going to college next year to study music therapy and it’s really really cool to see videos about it, especially when it includes Thomas Sanders who is already so cool and a good role model!
Ohhhh found a new channel thanks Thomas for the sujestions
I love this!!
I love this, I am currently working on getting a degree in music therapy. I’m glad you made a video to talk about this.
great video love Thomas Sanders
Music therapy seems like a really creative and expressive form of therapy, which I love! I've worked a little with music therapists before but I'll be honest, I haven't been fully aware of what they do or how they do it. Thought this was a really comprehensive video as an explanation and example of application. alternative forms of therapy and inovation is alwasy welcomed in our profession I feel. We nee dto develop our understanding of therapy and how was can posiitvly impact clients!
Thomas sanders, and Katie morton.... Wish I saw this sooner!
A wild Thomas appears!! This is so awesome!
He's everywhere.
And its amazing
This made me so excited! I want to be a music therapist!
Great Video! Very helpful
I love Thomas Sanders vids and when I saw it was all about music therapy I got super excited. I play in my high school band and plan on doing music therapy later on. Happy to see I got a little intro on what I'll be studying in the future :)
This looks soooooooooo fun!! I want to search about it in my area
I’m considering becoming a music therapist, thanks for this video!!
I love this! Wish I could do music therapy. It sounds amazing. I wish that I’d been offered something like this. My life evolves around music and I think it would be wonderful. I ultimately want to be a drama therapist in the future but I love that you made this video. ‘Everything’s safe’ I like that. X
This was so cool! I'd like to second the vote to explore more of these kinds of holistic therapy, like art therapy.
Notification squad, ooh, yeah. I've been looking forward to this video since the live stream the pther day
This sounds amazing
I use music all da time I have been really terrible and depressed recently
Hi Kati☺️
First of all I just wanted to say Thankyou for the community you have created, being apart of it and watching your videos has helped me so much and made me feel a lot less alone!
I was just wondering if you could make a video on complex PTSD (CPTSD)? I’ve have been struggling a lot for the past couple of years and wondered why no treatment for depression (thought to be my Illness) was working. I had a troubled childhood mainly with emotional/physical abuse and when looking into how to recover from my past I’ve found that complex PTSD has been mentioned a lot which may explain the lack of improvement during treatment. I just want to know a bit more about it before I go to my GP (I live in the UK) about it! Thankyou so much x
I love this video ❤
This was really cool and interesting to watch. I wanna possibly get into therapy when I’m older
Just how amazing would it be to have Katie Morton in a Sanders Sides video? I think that Virgil will like her!
This video blew my mind!
Great video kati and Thomas to lots of lovex
I want Thomas's jeans!!!!!
😱
I get it, man! This is cool! Music always helps me calm down when I'm feeling anxious. Maybe it has something to do with my brain waves. I always physically rocked back and forth to music since I was 6 months old.
I'm a fander and also working towards going into music therapy as a career
Uaaaaa It's Thomas Sanders together with Kati Morton in one videooo!
Great video. Amazing information. I've used music and art for years as a form of therapy and meditation. My favorite instrument to play is the drums..followed by piano, guitar, violin, trumpet, and bass.
Think you might do a video on art therapy?
Kati: "Let's just say Thomas and I were dating"
Thomas' mind probably: *HEY WAIT A SECOND-*
I just came here for thomas but this was really fricken cool.
