Music Therapy
Music therapy uses the power of sound, rhythm, and expression to support emotional healing and connection. At Changed by Fire, music therapy is offered as a creative and therapeutic tool to help burn survivors explore their emotions, release tension, and reconnect with joy in a safe and supported way.
You don’t need to be musical to benefit. This modality is about presence, not performance.
How Music Therapy Supports Healing
After a burn injury, many survivors face emotional overwhelm, difficulty processing trauma, or feelings of disconnection from self and others. Music therapy creates space for non-verbal expression and nervous system regulation, helping to support mental and emotional well-being.
Music therapy may help with:
-
Managing anxiety and emotional stress
-
Releasing trauma stored in the body
-
Supporting self-expression and confidence
-
Reconnecting with positive memories or emotions
-
Encouraging relaxation and inner calm
Music can create safety where words may not yet exist, offering an invitation to feel, process, and simply be.
What a Session Might Look Like
Sessions are always tailored to the individual. Depending on your comfort and goals, a session may include:
-
Listening to calming or emotionally resonant music
-
Playing instruments or exploring rhythm (no experience needed)
-
Writing, reflecting, or drawing during or after music
-
Breathing or movement paired with sound
-
Quiet presence with the therapist in a music-supported space
You are not expected to sing or perform. Everything is done at your pace, with consent, care, and curiosity.
