The arts play a huge therapeutic role in the lives of so many whether it is music, art, acting, etc. It’s amazing how getting someone into a hobby such as a creative one can change their lives in immeasurable ways! Not to mention, if it can become a professional career such as what you were blessed to experience! To do what you love every day for a living. No words to explain...Keep playing! Thank you for your comment. Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear Derek,

When I was working on stage, whenever I was stressed or in a bad mood about something during the day, within minutes of me starting work, I could feel the stress fall away. Since I stopped working as a pro. musician back in the 70s, I have kept playing nearly every day and in my work as a therapist, I have got several clients playing an instrument (some already had piano/keyboards, some guitars. Some had never played a note in their life, but just the act of learning and creating simple tunes, had a very positive effect on their stress levels..

Writing can be entirely therapeutic too, taking you from your own issues and into another world of your imagination. Thank you for your comment.

Music does help.

So does writing when I don’t focus on the crap in my own life.

I know loss of pleasure in activities once enjoyed is a symptom of depression. All this started, at the beginning of 2004 for which I am receiving treatment. This is also the first time that I have been unable to work where I usually over achieve. The strange thing with the music is that it actually agitates me...it feels like my body can't stand to hear it.

Many people listen to the sounds of the ocean and waves or perhaps the sounds of nature during meditation and yoga, as a relaxation technique during anxious moments, or to help them sleep. Many other reasons as well. Wonderfully soothing sounds are great to bring you to a place of peace. Nice to have you here. Please keep reading and posting!
