Story of musical therapy
Hi, guys!
Yesterday I decided to share playing the piano, and I was very pleased that some of you liked what I am doing.
But now it so happened that the saxophone has become my main instrument. I didn’t plan it, I didn’t even imagine that it would be like that, it just happened. Therefore, today I will insert a short video with him in the post.
Do you know what's interesting? I have a nervous face tic. This is a consequence of the use of antipsychotics for the treatment of manic-depressive psychosis, it is called tardive dyskinesia. Most likely, this feature will remain with me forever. Sometimes the eyebrow twitches only slightly, so I don't even notice it, and sometimes it turns into a painful process that makes me very angry. This happens most often when I am nervous. And, naturally, I start to get even more nervous, and from this the tic only intensifies.
But it disappears immediately as soon as I start playing musical instruments or singing. Perhaps this is partly due to the fact that I am completely focused on another occupation, or maybe it's just the magic of music. Now my tic is especially strong, and I try to play more to relieve my condition.
Yesterday my husband and I went to a hustle class, and he again brought up the topic of the need for a psychotherapist. He himself has been dealing with his own for quite some time. I finally agreed. The fact is that when I want to do this, there is never a specialist at hand. And most of the time, I just don't want to.
A friend of mine suggested an online recruiting service for me, and I really liked the idea. I also really liked the fact that they offer LGBT friendly psychotherapists. I myself am 80% heterosexual, but it is very important for me that the therapist is friendly to sex minorities, I have many such friends and I love them very much.
I hope to sign up for the first session today. And I hope everything goes well.
See you in the next post!
Love, Inber
You will improve soon, very short time you lear well.
love your hard work. God bless you my dear friend @inber.
I'm sorry about your illness, it's good to know that you have found a great help through music, maybe you can help other people with the same problem as well and make the experience more rewarding.
Often I do write in my blog about coping mechanisms I found for myself, and I like sharing it with others:) Actually we all do, and we’re stronger together:)
