The Healing Power of Music: How Sound Affects the Nervous System

Описание: Music affects us in ways that are far deeper than we often realise. In this exploration, Psychotherapist Stefan Walters shares how sound, rhythm and musicality are directly connected to our emotions, our relationships, and the functioning of the nervous system.

Drawing on years of clinical and therapeutic experience, Stefan explains:
• Why music can feel so cathartic during emotional moments
• How the nervous system moves through rhythms, vibrations and “states”
• Using music, sound and metaphor in therapy
• The “dance” of relationships and attachment patterns
• How musicality appears in couples work, EFT and polyvagal theory
• Why certain songs evoke safety, playfulness or emotional release
• The role of bilateral sounds, brainspotting and nervous system mapping
• How frequency-based sounds, movement and ancient practices support regulation
• Why music helps many people process emotion on a deeper level

From porcupine metaphors to polyvagal patterns, Stefan highlights how musicality is woven through all human connection. This is a grounded look at how sound can help us regulate emotions, reconnect with safety, and return to a state of flow.
