Music therapy is also used in treatment schizophrenia, stroke victims and others. My own opinion is that music and sounds which have a rhythm were attuned to our heartbeat in some way millions of years ago as a basic human pastime which creates pleasure in the individual. Music can calm your heart after a long hard day and even improve your eye sight and the way you handle your evening, the psychological effects on humans is an awesome study that simply takes years of each individual to understand how its effects are found in their everyday lives.

ANGER MANAGEMENT TIPS TO HELP CONTROL ANGER Do you get agitated when someone cuts you off in traffic Can you feel your blood pressure rising as you tell your children to do chores Anger is a normal and even healthy emotion. It is the way that we use anger that has the impact: healthy anger or unhealthy anger…. Here are some useful alternatives to the “anger emotion”. No. 1: Take a timeout Counting to 10 isn't just for kids. Before reacting to a tense situation, take a few moments to breathe deeply and count to 10. Slowing down can help defuse your temper. If necessary, take a break from the person or situation until your frustration subsides a bit. No. 2: Once you're calm, express your anger As soon as you're thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but non-confrontational way. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them. No. 3: Get some exercise Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt. If you feel your anger escalating, go for a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other favorite physical activities. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that can leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out. No. 4: Think before you speak In the heat of the moment, it's easy to say something you'll later regret. Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything — and allow others involved in the situation to do the same. No. 5: Identify possible solutions Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work on resolving the issue at hand. Does your child's messy room drive you crazy Close the door. Is your partner late for dinner every night Schedule meals later in the evening — or agree to eat on your own a few times a week. Remind yourself that anger won't fix anything, and might only make it worse. No. 6: Stick with 'I' statements To avoid criticizing or placing blame — which might only increase tension — use "I" statements to describe the problem. Be respectful and specific. For example, say, "I'm upset that you left the table without offering to help with the dishes," instead of, "You never do any housework." No. 7: Don't hold a grudge Forgiveness is a powerful tool. If you allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. But if you can forgive someone who angered you, you might both learn from the situation. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want at all times. No. 8: Use humor to release tension Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Don't use sarcasm, though — it can hurt feelings and make things worse. I am sure you have heard laughter is the best medicine. No. 9: Practice relaxation skills When your temper flares, put relaxation skills to work. Practice deep-breathing exercises, imagine a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase, such as, "Take it easy." You might also listen to music, write in a journal or do a few yoga poses — whatever it takes to encourage relaxation. We do offer biofeedback that encourages relaxation techniques. No. 10: Know when to seek help Learning to control anger is a challenge for everyone at times. Consider seeking help for anger issues if your anger seems out of control, causes you to do things you regret or hurts those around you. You might explore anger management classes or anger management counseling. With professional help, you can: • Learn what anger is • Identify what triggers your anger • Recognize signs that you're becoming angry • Learn to respond to frustration and anger in a controlled, healthy way • Explore underlying feelings, such as sadness or depression Anger management classes and counseling can be done individually, with your partner or other family members, or in a group.
