Final day @NHSTayside today after nearly 3 years. Grateful to Tayside for giving me my first job as a music therapist, it’s been a privilege to work across learning disabilities and mental health services
One thing he says clearly in his book—I strongly agree—is that therapist’s most important job is to find a way to create a relational connection w someone whose capacity for connection is damaged
So—no treatment “model” is a magic bullet. It’s two humans finding a way to connect
Arts Psychotherapist (entry level) to work in our community mental health teams in Edinburgh. Particular focus on MBT framework with people experiencing relational injury. Fixed term one year at moment,advert capped at 20. Come join us :-) https://t.co/AXWCeSy2yD
Great to chat this afternoon with some Arts Therapies students and graduates @QMUniversity about my experience of turning my dissertation into a published article.
Thanks for having me! @GiorgosTsiris @QMUMusicTherapy
