Dangers of music therapy

Music therapy, is it the miracle therapy? After experiencing music therapy first hand I am very interested. I am asymptomatic but with the simple relaxing techniques used on me I can see the potential for a powerful alternative. So are there any negative side effects of music therapy?

There are a few negative factors about music therapy. Some of the negative effects I found were completely outrageous. If anyone were to believe these claims I would have to say they are seriously mistaken. Many of these claims, I believe are made by people who are looking for reasons not to use music therapy and are trying to justify it anyway possible. There were however some effects that were common and seen through several different sources.

The main claim is that music therapy can trigger a negative emotional memories. This means that a certain melody, instrument or song is tied to a tragic event in the person’s life. One clear example I found was the song being played to the patient was the same song that was playing when her dad died.

As you can see music therapy is not perfect and has many upsides and in my opinion is very affective as an alternative medicine. These cases where music triggers these strong emotions are very uncommon and often not that serious.
