Rewriting Your Song: Overcoming Trauma Through Music

Music powerfully links to memories, sometimes causing painful flashbacks triggered by specific songs from significant past events.

While avoiding such songs seems logical, researchers propose a more proactive approach to heal these negative associations.

By repeatedly experiencing the songs in joyful settings, new positive emotions can potentially overwrite the old painful links.

This involves creating strong, happy memories connected to those songs, ideally within a social context, thereby reshaping the emotional response.
