“Music has charms to soothe a savage breast.” - William Congreve
I’m trawling for various forms of therapy and was intrigued to learn that learning guitar can alleviate the symptoms of PTSD.
I pretty much need to listen to music to release my anxiety and anger, and I’ve always wanted to learn guitar - so this sounds like a great opportunity. I feel actually creating music would give a heightened element and focus my mind.
Because of my newbie status, I don't seem to be able to post links. But if you Google "PTSD" and "Guitar", there's a lot of information.
Does anyone do this? Does it help?
