UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 Kate Bush\u2019s Running Up That Hill<\/em> remained at the top of the global music charts for the past weeks. The old hit song went viral following its use in Netflix\u2019s Stranger Things season 4.<\/p>\n\n

In the storyline, Max, who suffered from mental stress, managed to survive the monster\u2019s ordeal by listening to the song. In fact, according to psychology, music or songs can be a therapy for individuals who suffer from mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n

The statement was made by UNAIR<\/a> psychology lecturer Atika Dian Ariana SPsi MSc. The therapeutic counseling expert stated that music is a form of art therapy commonly used as a psychotherapy medium. Music therapy can be done independently as self-help.<\/p>\n\n

Discover your music taste<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

The first step in maximizing musical therapy results is discovering the music taste and genre. Music indirectly affects how the individual appreciates and perceives the music.<\/p>\n\n

In the 90s, classical Beethoven and Bach were widely known to stimulate the baby\u2019s brain. However, Atika emphasized that musical therapy is not fixed on one or two particular genres. Therapeutical music is personally customized.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cSomeone can get calmed when listening to fast rhythm ones like rock music. The genre becomes his\/her personal taste. Some individuals can be more focused by listening to instrumental music,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

The second step is monitoring the emotional and physical responses while listening to music. Mindfully listen to the music and become undistracted to see the responses. This step helps determine the type of music that works for you.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s say, if dangdut music makes us relaxed, comfortable, and happy, pick that genre. However, if it makes the listener go dizzy, don\u2019t listen to dangdut,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

More than just a song<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Music as a therapeutic medium is not only limited to music and songs produced in the studio. Nature sounds such as water, wind, chirping birds, or ocean waves are also included as music as it generates tones.<\/p>\n\n

For instance, Atika recommended natural sound during meditation to provide calming and relaxing effects. In fact, hospitals in Indonesia and Europe often use gamelan for music therapy.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMusic therapy is more than just \u2018to listen\u2019, but also \u2018to play\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Therapy for mental health problems<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

According to Atika, all emotional disturbances like stress, depression, and anxiety can be relieved by using music therapy. Therefore, it is advisable to listen to optimistic songs.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFor my patients with a negative emotional disorder, for instance. I will ensure their playlist is safe from negative tone songs and lyrics,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

Tone and lyrics in songs highly affect someone\u2019s mood. Individual who feels sad should avoid negative songs and vice versa. Individual who wants to express anger can listen to loud songs.<\/p>\n\n

However, music alone cannot help the psychotherapy process for severe mental disorders. An individual with hallucination or suicidal tendencies requires more advanced treatment with the help of a psychotherapist.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs a human, we always face any challenge. A strong person will always find the way,\u201d she said, ending the interview.<\/p>\n\n
