SONNET CONNER, RESIDENT IN COUNSELINGExpress Yourself Through Drums
Many people struggle to express themselves verbally through traditional talk therapy. Therapeutic group drumming is an evidence-based alternative that is physically engaging, culturally inclusive, and so much more. Think of it like active meditation. Research has shown drumming can help with emotional regulation, enhance social connection, improve self-expression and confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, improve immune response and increase mindfulness and focus. Skills developed in group drumming include teamwork, listening, and empathy.
WHAT TO EXPECTIs Drumming Therapy?
The groups are therapeutic in nature, but participants do not discuss personal stories as in a traditional group setting. Instead, we take pauses in the drumming to process thoughts and feelings that might up throughout the session.
