I Guess I Need to Learn How to Tell Time...

It seemed like a regular morning. I woke up with a blazing headache, pain in my back - still, and looked across the room at my clock. Quick glance to see what time it was. My light turns on now about 3:40am. I decided that I could sleep in a bit more - my medications are really messing with my level of exhaustion right now - so, I flipped over in an attempt to relieve my head pain and lapsed into a state of almost sleeping. I had a dream about my family and another one about the cemetery at my school and kept opening up my eyes to glance at the clock. I waited until I had about 40 minutes left before I had to leave, and then I used the bathroom and headed downstairs to get my allergy medications and to check my email and all that.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, the clock on the wall stated that it was just 5am. Not the 6am I was expecting. I apparently cannot tell time on the clock that is in my room - this is not the first time this has happened to me with that particular clock. I am thinking that I should switch that clock to another one - one I can read a bit more easily in my half-awake, half-asleep, pain-riddled early morning states...

The bad thing is that I had two clocks sitting closer to me at all times, but they required that I turn things on and then focus my eyes on actually doing something. I find that I wake up when I turn on my tablet, so I decided to squint across the room instead of reaching for the electronics. I also do not like asking my home system for the time - I try to avoid using that system as much as possible. I don't know why, but I feel that asking these systems questions invites them to listen all the time.

I'm boring, but a bit scared of the information that can be heard in my house going to some sort of corporation. Too many sci-fi thoughts in my head.

I am glad that I have a bit more time than I thought I would have, but I am also still in the throes of lots of medication and some pain. I am craving salt and the texture of my favorite crackers, but my latest shipment hasn't shipped yet, so I am bereft of the texture I crave. Today is just ending up being a complaining type of day, I guess.

Oh well.

I am tired. I am getting ready to head out because it is finally time to get started. I think I will get some more grease for breakfast today. I will practice my time-telling as well. See you tomorrow after my late day of work and then more work and then different work...

Therapeutic Elements of Music

In the year 2010, Dr. Deanna Hanson Abromeit, professor at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, presented A Closer Look at the Therapeutic Function of Music , a presentation at the American Music Therapy Association's Annual conference. I was unable to attend the presentation, but she was kind enough to send me a copy of the powerpoint for my files. How many of us really analyze the way we use music with our clients? How do you describe the reasons why you sing a specific song at a specific tempo for a specific client? Every so often, the music therapy listserv erupts in a discussion about the appropriateness of sharing therapeutic music experience ideas. One camp feels that we should not share ideas with one another due to the fact that it diminishes the individualization we offer to our clients. The other camp wants new ideas on how to engage clients providing them with novel and interesting experiences. I can understand the point of both groups. There is a danger in...

Songwriting Sunday: Repetition

Image
One of the things that I find to be helpful with my client population (children, adolescents, and young adults with dual diagnoses) is repetition of phrases, lyrics, and music. As a result of 30+ years of working with this population in various iterations, I have found that my clients respond the most to songs with three repeated phrases to prime their responses with a different phrase to communicate the important part of the experience. DISCLAIMER: This is not a definite way to write music for clinical interactions. This is what seems to work well with my particular group of human beings. Don't go to your supervisors and tell them that I told you that this is the ONLY way to write music - It is NOT! You have to find what works for your clients and for their clinical goals. Since my clients respond well to this type of song, I tend to write songs in this format more than any other. What I have found is that my clients remember these songs more than the ones that I do in different f...

Being An Internship Director: On Hiatus

Image
It has been long enough since I have had an intern that I am seriously feeling like I have little to say on the subject. At the same time, I am currently writing Chapter 5 of my general internship handbook, so I am able to write about being an intern and what types of things to think about during this important time in our professional development. It is a strange place to be in, and it is one that is a bit challenging for me. Right now, I have had three vacant internship positions since the beginning of the calendar year. I will have a vacant position next month and that will be an entire year of rejected offers. In the past nine months, I have offered positions to three applicants who have declined. It is interesting how people complain that there aren't enough internship programs, but programs like mine are empty. I guess there aren't enough internship programs that pay large stipends (which mine cannot) out there. I get it. It is interesting to me how we have moved from an ...
