Can Music Heal Trauma/PTSD? Stranger Things Explained

Описание: If you clicked on this video you have probably binge-watched the new season of Stranger Things. Well, who could blame you? In episode four we see how Max relives her trauma (described as an emotional response to a terrible event like a car accident, natural disaster, or your brother being killed by a demon) and how Vecna almost captures and kills her. However, at the end of the episode, Max can escape Vecna’s claws with the help of her favorite song. Thank god! All the feels… While watching this scene I was wondering, can music help us heal from trauma and other dark moments of our past? Something we will cover in this Simply Psyched video, don’t forget to like and subscribe!
