When Words Aren’t Enough, Music Can Help You Heal
Processing emotions, trauma, and stress isn’t always easy with words alone. If you’ve felt stuck in traditional talk therapy or struggled to find a way to express your emotions, you’re not alone. Many people—youth and adults alike—find relief and healing through Music Therapy-Informed EMDR and Counselling. This approach blends the evidence-based power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with music therapy, helping you regulate your nervous system, process difficult emotions, and build resilience in a way that feels natural and safe.
At Core Psychology, Max Wood, MC, CCC, offers this innovative therapy for youth and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, or burnout. Whether you’re navigating overwhelming stress or working through past experiences, music can provide a bridge to deeper healing.
Is This for You?
Many clients come to us feeling:
✔️ Overwhelmed by emotions but unsure how to express them.
✔️ Stuck in therapy, struggling to move past difficult memories.
✔️ Anxious, burnt out, or emotionally drained.
✔️ Disconnected from themselves or their relationships.
✔️ Like words aren’t enough to describe what they’re feeling.
If any of this sounds familiar, Music Therapy-Informed EMDR and Counselling could be the missing piece in your healing journey.
