Music as Therapy...

Hey flist- so, I have an assignment for you....
Name five (or more or less) songs in which the lyrics have significance...

I don't know you ... at all. But I am so, so bored at work (and 3 hours to go ... I feel like it might as well be 20), that I am reading my friendsfriends page on LiveJournal, and I just had to comment to offer up one of my all-time faves that has been so helpful to me, and kind of life therapy -- Carrie Underwood, Lessons Learned.

Anyway, that being said:

a) I think this is a fabulous idea you have and I wish my therapist had done something similar.
b) Sorry for hijacking your lj!

I will definitely add that to my list!!

-- I use music in my groups and in my individual therapy too- last week I had one of my guys who doesnt believe in "feelings" bring in 2 songs- one each that expressed a positive and negative feeling-- it was interesting to use it in a session... now im just rambling cause Im watching QAF 220 and trying to distract myself from what is gonna happen.

Thanks for commenting and sharing--- I dont post often, and im quite the lurker elsewhere, so its kinda nice to get someone news pov

That's really awesome. It's always good to see different ideas being brought into therapy. I've seen various therapists in my life and the ones that thought outside the box were always the most useful to me. It's certainly something I hope to do one day ... in the far future, after I've done grad school and all of that good stuff. Which of course comes after I have money, and it just sounds like a big cyclic pain, really!

In any case, you're quite welcome -- I tend to lurk too (or lurk, and then go on random commenting sprees) but today I was completely out of things to read and decided to check out my friendsfriends list, and it's always nice to see what other fandom folks are doing both in and out of the fandom.

(And 2x20 *SOB*)

I'll email you some stuff. Right now it's too early and the brain hasn't started yet. Good to see you last night. And always know that when there is something going on here that you are invited. Just jump in the car with your sister.
