Their findings appear in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. Therapists and clients often describe feeling in sync, and now there is evidence to prove it. The method, says lead author Prof. The therapist and client wore EEG caps to record the electrical signaling in their brains, and the session was filmed. Ultimately, the researchers hoped to learn more about how the individuals interacted. Once the recordings were complete, the researchers asked the therapist, client, and two other GIM therapy experts to watch the video and each note down three moments of change, as well as one unimportant moment.
The team examined their answers for overlap to see whether any points were of interest to all four participants. A couple of moments fell into this category. With that knowledge, Prof. Fachner and Maidhof examined the EEG readings from those moments.
They paid particular attention to the areas of the brain that process positive and negative emotions. Surprisingly, they came up with an image that illustrates a moment of change inside the brain.

What is Music Therapy? What is music therapy? Question: What exactly is music therapy? Do you have to have musical skills to appreciate or benefit from it? Answer: Dr. Music therapy is the use of music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of a group or individual.
It is well-established as a successful form of clinical intervention, backed by an evidence base covering a wide range of settings. In there were just over 1, HCPC-registered music therapists in the UK, a number which had steadily grown over the previous decade.
In this article we will outline what music therapy is, how it works, who can benefit from this approach and why. Whereas a drama therapist will use role play and storytelling to help clients explore their problems, and an art therapist uses artistic media as their main mode of expression, music therapists use the power of music to encourage clients to open up and communicate at multiple levels.
An individual receiving music therapy is referred to as a client , as in other forms of therapy. Music therapy works through an evolving partnership between the therapist and the client, where the therapist provides tailored activities to help an individual progress towards their unique therapeutic goals. Sessions can encourage expression and communication through actively making music together, listening to songs and responding to changes in sounds.
Music therapy can be used in many clinical situations to support individuals with their psychological, emotional, cognitive, physical, communicative or social needs.
Music is a powerful tool in therapy because it is closely linked to emotional response, and is a universal part of human nature. This response continues full-circle towards the end of life, when verbal abilities may again be lost.
Music helps us form connections, and crucially, this connection between the therapist and the client enables the client to explore and develop their feelings without the need for words. To work in the UK, music therapists are required to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council HCPC , which sets standards of conduct and requirements for professional development.
Music therapy is appropriate for people of all ages and does not require any previous musical knowledge or ability.
However, benefits are not limited to these situations, and there are substantial amounts of research and case studies showing the various advantages. For example, emotional problems can be addressed by providing a safe environment where difficult feelings can be expressed and contained.
Music therapists can also visit clients individually in their home environment, where required. Music therapy sessions are not music lessons, though clients may sometimes acquire some new skills throughout their sessions.
