Podcast Overview

The goal of podcast is to represent the voices of music therapists, musicians and other mental health clinicians. I started my musical journey at 7 years old and I wanted to make a career out of it. As I continued my B.Mus., I found that I wanted to use music for mental wellness. I am almost done my Master in Music Therapy at Wilfred Laurier University and I hope to grow this podcast to raise awareness and raise money for scholarships for music and music therapy students.

Episode 7: Let's talk about depression: What does it really look like?

In this episode I talk about what depression looks like for me. For some, this may be too much information to share, but I think it is important that people understand the reality of depression. I talk about what depression is, how it affects me, and what I do to help myself "build a ladder." Music is one of the ways in which I try to take care of myself and can be one of the steps in my ladder.  I mentioned <a href="https://www.instagram.com/king.kogi/?hl=en">@King.kogi</a> near the end. Martina came up with "build a ladder" as a way to help herself and others with mental health.  Sources: <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0840470420933911">Mental health services in Canada: Barriers and cost-effective solutions to increase access</a> <a href="https://thedepressionproject.com/">The Real Depression Project</a> <a href="https://www.mentalhelp.net/depression/biology-of-depression-neurotransmitters/">Biology of Depression</a> <a href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/music-therapy">What is music therapy, and how does it work?</a> (This is one of the best articles that is not a research study, that I have found on music therapy.)  <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/individual-music-therapy-for-depression-randomised-controlled-trial/A1CD72904929CECCB956F4F3B09605AF">Music Therapy for Depression Research Study</a>

Episode 6: Self-concept and Career: Who am I if I am not a music therapist?

In this episode I talk about how my own self-concept influences my mental health and how my experiences are going to shape my work as a music therapist.  Doing self-concept work by yourself can be very emotionally draining and I encourage you to talk to someone you trust to discuss these things. That person could be a close friend, family member, or therapist. Arriving at the thoughts and feelings I have discussed in this episode has taken me about 8 years of exploration. For me, it was hard work and I honestly felt defeated most days. If I didn't have someone to lean on, I am not sure I would have continued to work on myself.  Sources: <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0840470420933911">Mental health services in Canada: Barriers and cost-effective solutions to increase access</a> <a href="https://positivepsychology.com/self-concept/">Self-concept </a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvosjKUKCLo&list=PLJTeSO0BDHXPA-4UlRSYuNBc7_W7H6Al1">Wrong Crowd Album by Tom Odell</a>
