This book provides a friendly and in-depth guide to the growing practice of music therapy and its vitalizing benefits. As a form of therapy so essentially long-existing yet remaining under the radar until more recently, music therapy is still difficult to grasp for many of us in need of a wider range of therapeutic choices for ourselves as well as our loved ones.  Gertrude takes pains to set aside her own recent grief which inspired this book to urge others to be open towards investing in the potential of music therapy treatment, regardless of age, background or severity of condition.
The book honestly attempts to peel back the layers of mystery that linger around the enigma of music itself, and particularly how it can be best used in a clinical therapy setting to help alleviate pain, anxiety, depression and other mental and physical afflictions.
The author highlights the different types of music, instruments, and techniques used for music therapy, and provides encouraging cues to allow instinct to guide the reader in seeking and engaging music therapists. Writing in the light and clear prose of a regular person relating to another, Gertrude offers personal insight and looks to extend new knowledge about their own discovery of music therapy, as if sharing this valuable resource was a duty to friends reading.
Music Therapy & Me… patiently breaks down and details the technical aspects of music therapy as a reliable new frontier for those in need of sensitive attention and healing for deep-rooted cognitive function, memory and communication issues.
Whether you are someone seeking to understand the options available to you to treat the stress, anxiety, depression and/or trauma on behalf of a loved one, or someone looking to address your own self-esteem, health and well-being concerns through the modern wonders of music therapy, this book offers important insights into the power of music to heal the mind, body and soul.
