Does social media make you feel like crap?  Are you wondering why other artists are getting the press / shows / labels that you’re not getting? Today we dig into some of the more negative feelings that can arise for artists - especially when we compare ourselves to other musicians.  Jealousy / comparison / envy / resentment can feel bad, but it’s telling you something!  And, we can listen to those feelings, and actually make them useful! On today’s episode of Music Therapy, Jessica talks with therapist Rachael Jones all about how to listen to those feelings, understand them deeply, and then make an action plan that gets you what you want - in a way that aligns with your personal values.  ****************** Rachael Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in the Chicagoland area who works with individuals, couples, and families. Rachael’s work often centers on helping clients to deepen their understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their families, identifying what is and isn’t working well for them, and using this new found understanding to create meaningful change. ******************** Visit musictherapypodcast.com for show notes, past episodes, and upcoming events!
