music connection to mind

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-22 16:09:52 UTC

music is the combination of audio frequencies and intricate patterns that play in your ear. when we come in contact with the sound waves, the brain releases a neurotransmitter called dopamine (chemical responsible for making you feel good). music is able to create a state of arousal. (Pupils dilate, bp increases, brain fires in auditory, movement and emotional regions)

Music as Medicine

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-24 17:30:38 UTC

PhD Sonara Carter-Barber talks about the healing of music. From all ages, music helps in various ways. Babies listen to lullabies, strong beats help stimulate thinking, slow tempos promote calmness, and more. She shares her experience with how music has helped her get through life to enjoy and cope.

music and art therapy

The link between art and music therapy to traumatized individuals. Art therapy helps you express yourself and a way to put your feelings into pieces of work. Music helps alleviate pain, promote wellness, and make you feel good. It has the same effects on the brain as lavender and chamomile do. A special story was mentioned of a man who was put in jail because of murder. He said he would draw to help deal with trauma.

well-being concerts: Carnegie hall

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-24 17:54:14 UTC

a good example of existing music therapy is the well-being concerts hosted by Carnegie Hall. they recognized the increasing number of people who deal with depression/anxiety and get no help. they wanted to "bring the transmissive power of music to the widest possible audience".

link between phobia and trauma

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 01:07:03 UTC

phobias stem from trauma. treating trauma is the cure to help overcome phobias. at a young age, children's mind tends to avoid any reminders from the traumatic event later leading to adult phobias or increased fears.

"Unresolved trauma can exacerbate existing phobias or trigger new ones" (khiron clinic)

childhood trauma- long term effects of fear

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 01:10:16 UTC

a child's mind compared to an adult's mind is more malleable, meaning its "virtually nonexistent" and is easily shaped by its experiences growing up. when a child experiences trauma, the brain's physical structure is alternated. as your brain gets more stable, the traumatic events stick with you until it is overcome.

trauma and brain

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 03:06:19 UTC

at a young age, when children don't receive enough attention or experience traumatic situations, these events are likely to stick with them throughout their lives. the brain has 3 main systems: reward, threat and memory. during later years, their interactions with their surroundings often reflect what they've experienced as children. in the video, an example of being ignored when little affects social skills and trouble trusting others.

how can trauma lead to phobias

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 03:15:33 UTC

ever wonder why people are afraid of spiders or heights? experts developed a theory that our mind connects our experiences to fear. phobias don't always form as a result of traumatic events. people with phobias go great lengths to avoid anything that helps trigger the continuous fear. an example can be narrowly surviving a car crash, and the individual developing a fear and tending to avoid being in cars.

social media on gen z mental health

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 03:48:35 UTC

more than 65% of gen z is on social media. social media has negative and positive effects on gen z individuals. gen z is reported the largest generation with anxiety or depression in comparison to previous generations. however, they are also the most prone to seek help from mental health professionals. while social media does play a role in the causations, it also is a platform where many users promote mental health issues and build a community that normalizes speaking on the mental health issue.

gen z

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 04:16:24 UTC

gen z is born into a world not knowing what it would be like without phones or internet. in prior generations, human relationships were limited to proximity and getting in contact with others were hard. most people kept their relationships limited and close. however, gen z had the opportunity to explore across the globe through the use of technology. gen z is more comfortable in sharing their stories online, with the existence of a common-relatable community, self-help apps, and other online embedded programs dedicated to help the cause. gen z has more access to these resources in comparison to previous generations.

school counselors

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 04:21:42 UTC

through the passing years, guidance counselors started to make an appearance in schools. this is due to the increasing number of students who struggle in life. but even with the counselors there, would students still be willing to share their personal problems with them? counselors share how it is hard because there are too many students in a school for them to effectively assist them. some students don't go to counselors because they don't feel comfortable sharing their experiences. they don't know their counselor and that comes from the basis of trust. but people who do visit their counselors often go because they have no one else to talk to.

generational differences in mental health

ddaisyyle — 2024-08-26 04:30:05 UTC

gen z has faced increased stress and issues which leads to increased personal awareness. they realize something is a problem and go seek help. there has been an increased therapy usage in this generation in comparison to others. when being more aware of issues, it leads to acceptance of concerns and more open discussion. prior generations have paved the way for gen z by increasing mental health awareness. in previous generations, it was deemed as unusual to speak about personal concerns. nowadays, discussing mental health was like talking about washing their hair or what they did today.
