I do not use music to fix my Post-Traumatic Stress or my grief .I use music to stay in relationship with myself while healing unfolds. For me, sound has never been about bypassing pain or transforming it into something more palatable. It has been about creating a space where my nervous system is allowed to respond honestly — without pressure, without urgency, and without expectation.
