Suffolk DBT’s founder, Jeanette Lorandini, was featured in this article, discussing how music can help you reduce stress. From the article:
Jeanette Lorandini, a licensed social worker and director of Suffolk DBT (Dialectal Behavioral Therapy), told Healthline that music therapy is proven to reduce stress levels and provide relief from difficult situations or memories.
Music connects people to positive memories or feelings she said. That can promote optimism and self-confidence.
“Music can also help people suffering from depression or anxiety by reducing their symptoms and helping them cope with difficult emotions,” Lorandini said. “Music therapy has been found to be beneficial for those with PTSD and other mental health issues. Studies have shown that music can help to improve cognitive functioning, reduce symptoms of distress, and increase positive emotions.”
Lorandini said exercising, hobbies, activities, meditation, connecting with family and friends, and expressing gratitude are also great ways to lessen stress and improve mood.
