Episode Synopsis

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.
