What is Music Therapy?
Music Therapy is a clinical and evidence-based practice where music is used as a tool for healing. Trained music therapists guide clients through activities such as songwriting, lyric analysis, improvisation, and listening exercises to explore emotions and build coping skills.
For those with eating disorders, Music Therapy provides a non-verbal way to process feelings, improve self-esteem, and reduce the anxiety that often surrounds food, body image, and recovery.
At Virtue Recovery, Music Therapy is used alongside evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, ACT, and nutritional counseling to promote holistic healing.
5 Benefits of Music Therapy for Eating Disorders
Encourages Self-Expression
Music therapy allows clients to share emotions through lyrics, sound, and rhythm in ways that words alone may not capture. This safe outlet helps them process feelings of fear, sadness, or hope in a constructive and healing manner.
Reduces Stress & Anxiety
Engaging with music can lower physical and emotional tension, promoting relaxation and calmness. It provides a soothing space that helps clients regulate overwhelming feelings during recovery.
Improves Mood & Motivation
Listening to or creating music helps clients build hope, energy, and more positive outlooks. These uplifting experiences can spark motivation to stay engaged in treatment and recovery goals.
Strengthens Coping Skills
Music offers healthy and creative outlets for managing difficult emotions like frustration, sadness, or anger. Over time, these coping skills become valuable tools for handling stress outside of therapy.
Builds Confidence & Connection
Creative participation in music activities enhances self-esteem as clients discover new abilities and strengths. It also fosters connection through group bonding, allowing individuals to feel supported and understood.
