Music Therapy
Music is universal in the way that engages the human spirit. Music validates the emotional process and bypasses thinking altogether. We feel music before we can think about it. Individuals with eating disorders are often stuck in their own minds and present difficulty connecting with and experiencing their own emotions. Music engages the emotions before thought can occur. Music can also provoke thought. Music is about feelings, emotions, and memories. It’s about acknowledging pain, validating the human experience, and above all…healing. At TranscendED, patients receive music therapy treatment through active music-making interventions utilizing improvisational techniques, lyric analysis, and music-based mindfulness training.
Yoga
Yoga allows the body to talk. The tension held within the body is released through holding and switching poses as the mind and body are connected. Yoga is emotionally grounding as much as it emotionally evocative. At TranscendED we use yoga to challenge distorted body image, awaken body awareness and acceptance, and to teach clients the art of yoga as a means for positive coping and greater mind-body-connection. Yoga assists our patients on their journey toward recovery in allowing them to surrender to each moment as it arrives.
