At this month's Meli Music clinical meeting, our topic of discussion was "Therapeutic Songwriting." What is your favorite way to write a song, either for yourself or in a therapeutic setting?

@BelovedFire_ @moviejofc Also I see you are influenced by V F Perkins. My father went to Oxford with him and they used to go to the cinema together! He used to tell some great stories about some of their antics!

@BelovedFire_ @moviejofc I’ve long been an admirer of hostiles since it’s release. That ending and the max richter score have stayed with me ever since. So I was googling away and came across your article. What a fantastic piece of writing.

A therapist specializing in loss looks at 'Mary Poppins Returns,' the reboot filled with dancing penguins, talking umbrellas, and lessons about coping with grief. Is Mary Poppins actually a grief worker? https://t.co/azHfiDlo8e via @Interview Magazine

This #musictherapythursday we want to say a huge thank you to the MT community - it is wonderful to see MT being promoted in the media, and we know there is even more taking place that isn't being reported.

Stay well, and thank you for all you do!
