Music, Therapy, and You!
Hello Everyone! My name is Ebony Swain and I am a music therapist in training. During my time learning about the power of music, I felt that there were too many people who had no idea about the magical work that we do. There are so many questions and theories about topics controversial or not that I have had and I always wanted to fill that void for myself and others. I decided to start my Vocal Journey talking about things I love - music therapy, psychology, and mental health.

Dealing With Anxiety
The other day I had an anxiety attack, or shall I say another anxiety attack because there have been a few. Rather than taking medication, my doctor asked if I would be interested in attending an anxiety class. Hm, I’m not exactly a big fan of these self-help groups, but okay, I would give it a shot. As expected, it didn’t go well for me, in fact, I was kicked out of the group.

Cognitive Techniques to Reduce Anxiety
Anxiety and stress are the two most knowledgeable emotions of students proceeding with higher education. This system, with an impartial to mound students, fails to attain its objective. On the contrary, students leave with a dimmed desire for the field and stress-related complaints.

Hypnotherapy
On a humid June day in 2003, my former girlfriend and I took a ride up to Norcross, GA to see a Hypnotherapist who lived just off of Spalding Drive on Spalding Hollow. It would seem that the anti-depressants I was taking for my bipolar disorder were not working and we were seeking alternative treatment to alleviate my symptoms. We were not getting along and were willing to try anything if it would help. My girlfriend had been taking classes from the “Doctor” and thought that hypnotherapy might work. I was skeptical but willing to try anything especially since she was footing the $700.00 bill for the session.

Hypnotherapy & the Subconscious Mind
If you’ve ever asked yourself “why am I like this,” and you haven’t found an answer, you’ve come to the right place. If you have a pretty good grasp on yourself but you still struggle to actually change the course of your life, you have come to the right place as well. Your holy grail lies in exploring and “reprogramming” your subconscious mind. This sounds complicated, but it is actually pretty simple, once you understand what it all means.

Mental Health Is a Luxury
There have been three mass shootings in the US this week, two at military bases. After every mass shooting, we hear a lot of talk from politicians, particularly Republicans, about the need to address mental health. It is all bovine excrement. Mental Health has been the illegitimate step child of public health since the beginning of public health. “Mental Health in this country is a luxury, and luxury is only for the wealthy”, wrote Kastalia Medrano in a recent article on Vox. Truer words have never been spoken.

DBT and Me
I’m currently participating in a weekly DBT group and we’re on the subject of how to use the Wise Mind skill. As I understand it, the wise mind skill is about bringing together rational thinking with emotional thinking. It’s kind of a right brain meets left brain scenario.

Some Misconceptions About Psychotherapy That Need to Be Broken
In today’s haphazard world, where almost all are frustrated and stressed due to extensive work pressure and the complexities of modern day living, the tension and depression level keeps increasing day by day. With the concept of going “solo” ruling the roost, the need for psychotherapy is real! There are hundreds of individuals opting for suicides and drugs because of not being able to cope with these mounting pressures. There is always one person amongst five who is stressed out, and one in two who is depressed. With the seriousness of the situation, a psychotherapy help is the only thing that can grab you out from sinking in badly.
