Revamping the Entire Blog - Trying Something New

I was able to wake up on time this morning and also haul my ponderous self out of my very comfortable bed only an hour later, so I am considering this a win. I have had significant difficulty getting up and out of bed since our last time change, and this is unusual for me. I can say that I feel 100% better than I did three days ago, so I am also considering that fact a win. As a result of recovering from my latest illness and my need to do things differently, I am trying to come up with new things to talk about here on my blog.

This happens occasionally. I get an urge to shake my thinking up and one of the ways that manifests is in new topics for this space.

So, I am not doing an internship supervision post today. If that is what you look for in my blog, please send me a message or leave a comment. I can continue that topic, if you want. Otherwise, I think I am going to leave that topic behind for a bit.

In the past, I have used the following Monday labels: Make It Monday and Music Monday. If I had a bit more time, I would look through those labels to see what I used them for in the past, but I don't have time today (got up later, remember??). So, I am flying without a guide to assist me here.

I want to find some new things to write about because I am feeling untethered at the moment. I am not sure what I have to write about any more, but I still feel that I want to write about something every day, so here I am...stuck in the middle...

At the moment, I have two possible futures ahead of me, and I know that this is contributing to my scattered emotions and need to control something that is happening around me. Knowing this does not fix or change the uncertainty, but it does help me define it which always helps me understand what is going on. I think this need for change that is going on in my brain right now is a coping mechanism. My blog is a place where I can control everything, so I think that is what is spurring this train of thought on and on.

What can I write about?

What do I want to write about?

What do I want to NOT write about in this space?

Do you do this? Are you better able to determine what you do want if you first identify what you do NOT want? That is how I make most of my decisions - I start with a determination of what I do NOT want. Do I want to continue in ____? If the answer is no, then I know that it is time to look for alternative paths. My Dad started me off with this type of evaluation, and it has worked for me. I do not like my themes on this blog right now. I am bored with them, but I also know that I do batter with themes than with just writing. If I simply write free-form, I tend to go into complaining mode rather than problem-solving mode. When I go into complaining mode, I tend to stay there for a long time. I don't like complaining mode, so I want themes.

I am sorry that I haven't settled on anything. That is my typical process. I tend to spend more time talking about something than actually doing it. After this, do I have any more insight into what I will be writing next Monday?? Not at all. I am hoping for some inspiration before next Monday... waiting... waiting...

Dear AMTA

Dear American Music Therapy Association: I am debating long and hard about remaining in this relationship. I have been in this relationship since college, and this is not a decision that I am taking lightly or without great cost.  I am not happy with what you are bringing to this relationship. Now, I have been a selfish partner over the past several years - mainly because I am not feeling like we share a common mission anymore. It is easy for me to place the blame on you, but I know that this is not all on me. I have tried to be invested in communication and support and understanding, but everyone comes to a time where enough is enough. I am trying very hard to decide if the benefits that you provide to me are worth the feelings that I have about where I think you and I are going. I am not sure that our destination is the same anymore, and this makes me sad. To be completely honest, I am only in this relationship these days for the music therapy interns. I don't think that is a hea...

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 ...
