Can listening to music be considered a form of therapy?

It always works for me, too. We've exposed my granddaughter to music since before she was born and 3 years later she always calms down when she hears music, pays attention whatever she is doing, and is drawn to it. I'll go as far as to say music is probably essential to a happy life.

Music brings the best emotions you have. But I don't listen to sad songs lately.lol It brings back the brokenhearted moment with my ex.

It is. And not only because I say so, but because it is used.

Music is great therapy! I listened to music when I was in labor and it helped me get through it. I listen to music when I'm down and when I'm happy. I also love singing. =)

Music Therapy is recognized enough that some insurance companies will pay for it. Several of us have written about Music Therapy for those with Parkinson's and other illnesses.

I think I can, in a way. But not in a 100% effective way as the problems or pain will still be there when you're done listening to the music.. same as drinking your problems away.

Music does work wonders for me. Putting on some upbeat music helps me get the house cleaned faster!

I think music is often used as a form of therapy.

Without a doubt, yes.

Depending on the music...yes, it is.

@TheInvisibleMan Yes, it can be considered as a therapy. I always works for me too.

Of course yea. Music is the greatest healer. It heals even the energy circle of human body. See generally we feel low or suppressed or tired or sick when the energy circle of our body is disturbed due to some reason. The right music has the power to heal it. And for me ,as I am a die heart fan of music, more than a medicine ,it's my life.

Ofcourse yes. Music is a beautiful creation. And it can moves our boredom, it can changes our mood, and can celebrate the joy and what not.

@TheInvisibleTherapy yes, music is the best self therapy. But sometimes, I prefer watching few movie-scenes I like, instead of only listening music as a boost

I think so. But Vanny and I are having a big argument on one of my YouTube videos about whether we should listen to happy music all the time, or dive into sad music now and then. Maybe you can join in! Check the comments.

Yes. Music gives relaxes the human brain.

@TheInvisibleMan For me I think it is a great form of therapy and also very enjoyable.

I think it so, music is my mood booster

The photo uploaded is amazing

Yes for sure it is a therapy. I remember i was an emotional fool many years ago and always loved to listen the emotional songs. But one day I decided to give up and started listening to rock, loud etc. As time goes on I changed a lot and I think music helps me to come out of that.
