I don't have a therapist, so I use me as my own therapist when I'm making the music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I use music as therapy. Whenever I'm feeling angry or needing some 'me' time, which is quite regularly, I'll go and bang a piano or flesh out something on a guitar.
I used the music kind of as therapy, and it's just amazing that I feel so free after doing that. I feel like I had it trapped inside of me and now I feel free. So it's been a very good therapy session for me as well.
Music is just such... it's not therapy, but it's a release, it's a joy, it's a pleasure. And it's a job - which is weird, because I don't think of it as a job.
I started to use music almost like a therapist, where it's like, everything that I don't really dare to say or speak about, I can sing about.
I've been in therapy my whole life.
I actually have a degree in music and was aware that music was a tool used in therapy. I didn't realize how far it had come since I was in college in the mid-seventies.
I myself have been in therapy. Repeatedly.
Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.
I've never had very high regard for therapists. I owe my health, my mental survival, to my friends and loved ones.
I've been to therapists my whole life.
