Sonic Healing: How Music Shapes Your Emotional Wellbeing - Pt. 1
Music has a remarkable ability to transport us through time, evoke powerful emotions, and even heal our psychological wounds. This fascinating connection between melodies and mental wellbeing takes center stage as we explore how the songs that soundtrack our lives can profoundly impact our emotional health.
The power of musical association reveals itself through Casey Clark's touching story. After losing her grandfather, she found solace in Michael Bublé's album—the last gift she gave him before his passing. Now, when grief or PTSD symptoms overwhelm her, those familiar melodies provide grounding when traditional coping techniques fall short. This personal connection exemplifies how music becomes intertwined with our most significant memories and relationships.
Science strongly supports what many of us intuitively understand about music's therapeutic qualities. Research demonstrates that regular listening to classical music significantly reduces anxiety levels, while other studies show music helps people recover faster from stressful experiences. The physiological benefits are measurable—lower stress hormones, reduced blood pressure, and decreased heart rate. Music offers both an emotional escape and a way to process complex feelings, particularly when we're stuck in negative thought patterns.
Our musical preferences typically form during adolescence and young adulthood, creating lifelong connections that become emotional resources during difficult times. Whether through the nostalgic mixtapes of yesterday or today's carefully curated streaming playlists, these sonic companions help us navigate life's challenges. Instrumental music—from classical compositions to electronic dance music—allows listeners to project their feelings into the soundscape, creating a personalized emotional outlet without the potential distraction of lyrics.
Beyond passive listening, actively engaging with music through playing instruments provides additional benefits, fostering discipline, creativity, and emotional expression. These multifaceted musical experiences build resilience and offer healing during times of stress, grief, or anxiety.

In this episode of the Motor City Hypnotist podcast, we're going to talk about music and its effect on your mental health. Now, if you remember back gosh, probably a couple hundred episodes ago, we did a couple of episodes on music therapy, actually using music during therapy, right, but I'm just talking in general, how music affects people's moods. Talking in general how music affects people's moods. How can it one and we're going to get into it whether it's sometimes it might not be great, depending, but but we'll get into the specifics of it.

What is going on, my friends? This is David Wright, the Motor City Hypnotist, and we are back here with another episode of the Motor City Hypnotist podcast. You betcha, that is Matt Fox, the other voice you hear, hello. So yeah, it's been a couple weeks, matt. I had birthday week because my birthday was on the second and kendra's was on the fifth, so we kind of had, you know, we had a lot of things going on, and then labor day was thrown in there too so yeah, that happens every year exactly, and sometimes it'll fall on labor day.
David Wright: 2:55
It just depends on you know the way, the way the second falls, you know, I guess seven years from now, it'll happen again probably. Yeah, yeah, something like that. I don't even know. It always happens on a Monday. It's always on a Monday, but the date just changed. Fair, yes, that's fair, it's always on Monday. So sometimes the second falls on a Monday, that's when I'm just joshing your jelly man and the other thing that I hated with my birthday being September 2nd was always back to school.
David Wright: 3:21
Yep, that was always the birthday gift, happy birthday Go back to school Happy birthday. Back to school.
Announcer: 3:25
Yeah.
Matt Fox: 3:25
So, that sucks. We had a good time. So you had your birthday September 2nd and you turned 50?
David Wright: 3:31
60. 50? 6-0. 50? No, I wish I could say 50. I'll say 50 for now. 40? I'll say 40. I wish I could go back. I can. I mean I can, yeah, you can be 40. I mean, I'm still 12 in my head. So I mean, yeah, we have that going for me, you can be 40 for the 19th time.
David Wright: 3:51
It's all good, why not? So yeah, and we've been dealing with a new puppy. Our puppy's been home for about three weeks now. Well, you say dealing, what do you mean? What do you mean? It's just a. It's a lot of work. I forgot how much work a puppy is. Yeah, just the, the whole biting thing, that that you know nipping yeah, and I, I I'm telling you, matt, I have this. One was a bleeder, he got me really good right here.
David Wright: 4:16
He got me right in between my fingers, but that that's what puppies do. I mean, this is all natural, that's the way they play, yeah, so, and you just have to train them and.
Matt Fox: 4:28
They need to understand the word gentle, and when it hurts you say gentle.
David Wright: 4:31
Yeah, you just yeah, I mean we're in the process of ironing all this out, you know. So I will say my son has stepped up. He I mean honestly, he handles the dog. Probably 90%. 80% of the time I'll say so that's all good, excellent. But again it'll get to the point where we won't even remember him being a puppy. So life has been busy.
Matt Fox: 4:52
It has Is what you're telling us it has. What I'm hearing you say is life has been busy. It has been busy.
David Wright: 4:56
I did get out and golf a couple times.
Matt Fox: 4:58
Good.
David Wright: 4:59
As one should. Oh, it's so funny. So I got to give a shout out to my buddy, Greg. So I was in a bowling league with Greg like 30 years ago. He was in our fantasy football league that we had in our family at the time and I'm almost sure he bowled a 300 with us one night. He was either a 300 or he just missed it by one. I'm almost sure I was there for his 300 because we talked about it. But but anyway, I was just out by myself on the course a couple weekends ago and I get up to a couple guys driving and they said, hey, you want to hit with us. I'm like greg and he's like dave. And then we caught up right there in the third hole.
David Wright: 5:37
that's great and uh, so I now I have. Now I have a golf buddy kind of built in. Okay, so when you can't make it down, matt, to do a hole in one, I just have to golf with Greg. Come on, don't make me feel bad. Oh no, it's a great thing. I told you. I think about you every time I go to hole 10 at Westburn.
Matt Fox: 5:54
That's a good thing. You should think about me every time you hit hole 10.
David Wright: 5:58
I'm just.
Announcer: 6:03
Oh, great Odin's raven.
Matt Fox: 6:11

David Wright: 6:19
Kenner's like, could you take a worse picture? And I'm like I didn't notice, I just you know I'm a guy.

Announcer: 8:19
That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 8:29
Yes, let's do it All right. This is a great story, but it's a little bit sad. I'll just preface that ahead of time. Okay, a TikToker recently went viral after sharing a story of the unforgettable treatment showed to him by a local steak house when his heart was breaking. Multi-instrumentalist and singer who goes by the username Cousin Homer, called the Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen location in St Joseph, missouri, with a special request the biggest, most perfectly cooked steak the kitchen could muster. The musician was set out. The musician was set to put his dog of 13 years down that night. Wait, wait, wait. Backup.
Matt Fox: 9:15
Yep, so he called the restaurant Yep.
David Wright: 9:21
Make the best steak ever, missouri with a special request the biggest, most perfectly cooked steak the kitchen could muster. That was the request. Okay, the musician was set to put his dog of 13 years down that night. Oh my goodness, the musician was set to put his dog of 13 years down that night. Oh my goodness. The rotund black lab named Bella had been his best friend and stalwart companion and her owner wanted to make sure her final meal was a blowout.
David Wright: 9:42
When Cheddar's asked which side's cousin Homer wanted with the steak, the musician declined any, only to be told that they came free of charge. So he'd be wasting money in one sense. Okay. So he said that he didn't know if Bella would eat any of the sides for her last meal, apart from maybe the french fries. When the musician arrived to pick up the food, the manager emerged with a staff that were on hand, presented the bag of food and offered the condolences of the entire restaurant comping the meal in the process. Oh my gosh, cousin, as the restaurant referred to him in the comment section of the oh my gosh, flaunting their compassion. When Cousin opened the go-to container, he found a letter of condolence signed presumably by everyone in the restaurant that day that's beautiful. Cheddar's client relations team were overwhelmed by the response and sent a branded fleece throw in the mail, wishing that comfort would wrap around you like a warm honey butter croissant.
Matt Fox: 10:50
Right.
David Wright: 10:52
So that's, yeah, that's the story. So Cheddar's Restaurant's, cheddar's restaurant in missouri, and if you don't know, do you have ever had cheddar's? No, I've never eaten there.
Matt Fox: 11:02
No, so my first time out of cheddar's was in texas and I just found out that there is a cheddar's here in michigan, really in lansing. Okay, just last weekend we were down there in Lansing area and we saw cheddars and my partner used to work at cheddars when she lived in Texas a long time ago. So they are a chain and their food is. It's kind of like a Cracker Barrel, but better.
David Wright: 11:30
Oh okay, well, because I do like Cracker Barrel food, it's much better, oh, okay.
Matt Fox: 11:34
Well, because I do like Cracker Barrel food, it's much better, okay. So they do a nice job, and to hear Cheddar's doing this for a gentleman whose dog of 13 years, giving the dog the best meal possible, and that's just amazing. I love that, thank you.
David Wright: 11:48
It's sad. It is sad, but it's a great story. Do you want to see Bella? Absolutely. Here's the picture. I'll put it up to the camera in a moment. Oh.
Matt Fox: 11:56
I see Black Labs are just one of my favorites. I know she's a beautiful little puppy. Yeah, she's a bit chunky, as they should be.
David Wright: 12:05
Yeah, Well, they called her Rotund in the article, but let me show you Bella to the people who are on Facebook live. You can see she's there's, bella, bella, she enjoyed her last steak, yeah, so yeah, that's very anyway it's just great, for it's just great to see people showing compassion. That's that's really the main thing is. I mean, we know, we all know how tough it is to lose a pet.
Matt Fox: 12:29
Yes, and and to have that support from strangers, really strangers, yeah that's great, great story, and cheddars it's is a very great food establishment well, I would look for them just based on the story.
David Wright: 12:43
Now, sure I, I would give them my, my patronage, because you know what?
Matt Fox: 12:47
take a road trip yeah, do an outing to lansing. Maybe I'll go to lansing. Go do some golf visit. Yeah, you can golf. You can visit Horrocks, which is like a farmer's market type place there. They've got everything under the sun at Horrocks, but then go over to Cheddar's if you don't find something to eat at Horrocks.
David Wright: 13:03
Well, I mean I just like to try it because again, I know they're a chain in every rest, but again, that's a great thing to do, yes.
Matt Fox: 13:12
Just kindness.
Announcer: 13:14
Thank you. So, definitely winner of the week. That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 13:27
Yes, it is. Even though it's a sad story, still a good one.
Matt Fox: 13:29
So back to it. So you struck a chord within the first oh, I see what you did there, matt. Thank you with the pun there. Yes, you struck a chord with me when you said we're talking about what we're talking about music and how and it can, how it can affect your mental health.
David Wright: 13:45
Now we're just talking about music in general and and everybody has favorite genres and backgrounds and everything you know. Some people might have grown up loving country, or some people might like rap or something, but there's just, there's just, I mean, I mean to even say specific genres. It's impossible because there's so many, there's so much music out there from all different sources. Yeah, so let me tell you. I'm going to read part of the story that I pulled up from online.
Matt Fox: 14:13
Because that must be true.
David Wright: 14:16
Well, it was in one of the studies or one of the sites that I go to to gather information. It sounds cliche. I get Josh in your jelly. I know it's crazy. Yes, I'm like, I'm very important.
Announcer: 14:31
I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
David Wright: 14:40
There we go. So let me tell you the story of Casey Clark. So her grandfather died five years ago and she said she doesn't go a day without listening to music. She says that helps her cope with grief, depression and symptoms of PTSD from seeing him in the hospital before he passed.
David Wright: 14:59
So again, I know a lot of us have done through this with loved ones when we've lost him and but she said when her symptoms come up, she listens to michael buble album because it's the last present she gave her grandfather and they shared many happy memories listening to it together. So just that, this is just a random person who said she turned to music for comfort when she lost her grandfather and there's a connection there. That's why this has such meaning to her, because this was the last gift she gave to her. It was a gift of music. So people might say Michael Buble, but the whole thing is that's, that's the connection they had. He's a crooner, it's okay, yeah, and it's good so but that's one of the one things that that music brings about emotional responses and those could be positive. They can also be negative at times. Yes, depending on associations, and most of the time we associate music, certain music, with times in our lives.
Matt Fox: 15:59
You're not okay. Yes, that is absolutely correct, because there are certain times and while being a, a dj, being a in in the wedding circuit, right, that first dance song yes, a bride and groom is the most important song of the night and that is going to last for their entire lives. Yep in their memories. Yep, not just for them, but their families as well. So for someone to turn to music in a time of grief and or a time of pleasure and celebration, I'm totally with you on that, 100%.
David Wright: 16:35
So again we have these connections to music and they make us think of specific times in our lives or specific relationships. I mean, I know this is going way back and if you young kids listening, forgive me but you've never had the pleasure of making a mixtape.
Matt Fox: 16:52
No, no, but you've never had the pleasure hold on stay with me for a second. I will you've never had the pleasure of listening to the radio and waiting for your favorite song to come on, for you to hit play record at the same time on the tape player on the tape player so you could get your favorite song from the radio and then turn that part into a mixtape by then play recording on a different cassette tape on the same jukebox. Yeah, yeah, okay, go on.
David Wright: 17:17
Yes, yes, yes. And it's funny you bring that up, matt, because I distinctly remember that and the tough thing was pulling off the radio. You always had the bump to deal with, right, because they talk right up until the word starts W-C-D-D Coming. Up until the word starts wcd coming up, enjoy, some van halen coming at you right now, might as well jump. Might as well jump right here on wmoc and then, and then, as soon as they finish that, the vocals kick in. So yeah, that, that, that's a, that's a. A good skill to have yeah, to time that bump and is yeah, it is because you know.
Matt Fox: 17:53
You have to know your music to know when to finish, they've never had the pleasure of rewinding the tape with your number two, pencil, just to get it to the right spot as a reel-to-reel guy, actually splicing stuff and taping it back together so you can get the.
David Wright: 18:10
Oh man, that was a blast. I used to have an actual reel to reel, like actually, like, like reel to reel, like a big one that think the thing weighed probably like 30 pounds. Yeah, oh yeah, I love that thing, I, I. I can't tell you how much time I spent with that, so we're talking about again I go back to this story about Casey Clark who lost her grandfather.
David Wright: 18:36
In her quote she says it sounds cliche, but music serves as an escape in those moments when the flashbacks are so intense I can't get them out of my head with other grounding techniques, mm, hmm. So the other thing that notes is that most of the time we develop a taste for music Probably probably in childhood, although we not realize it. But when we get into adolescent and young adulthood, that's when we're really kind of get into music as a as just like a whole nother world to look at.
Matt Fox: 19:09
You've known me in my 40s and now in my 50s, and you've never heard this story. Mm-hmm, I was 16 years old. I was in Langley Air Force Base in Virginia and I thought I was the coolest human being on the planet, driving a Pontiac Sunbird blasting vanilla ice and his cassette.
David Wright: 19:33
Yeah.
Matt Fox: 19:33
Yep, vanilla ice, yeah, and his cassette, yeah, yep. And at one point I kind of looked around and looked at myself and I'm like this is some shit. I threw the cassette out the window and I have never listened to any of his music ever since. And then I got into dj and all of a sudden people are like you got vanilla ice back there. Like, oh no, I got queen. Like you got Vanilla Ice back there. And you're like, oh no, I got Queen, yeah, and I got David Bowie, I got talented people. I've got Queen and David Bowie. They were the original that Vanilla Ice stole because he didn't ask for permission, right.
David Wright: 20:05
Anyways, yeah, I digress, I got it. So here's the thing I talked about when our tastes of likes and dislikes develop. There was a study done that said the average teen spends two and a half hours every day listening to music of some sort. I believe that, yes, and over half of young adults ages 18 to 29 report streaming music every day, compared to just 24% of all adults While they're still in class and trying to learn. Probably they probably have their earbuds in when they shouldn't be there you go.
David Wright: 20:39
So here's the thing Music can be a great escape. It can be used, as Casey Clark said in the story, a great way to kind of ground yourself and get your mind out of whatever funk you're in. So here's the thing Music can lower your stress, and a study that was done in 2019 found that college students who listen to classical music every day for two months had significantly lower levels of anxiety.
Matt Fox: 21:09
Wow, I believe that because my oldest daughter is a big classical music fan. And in high school she would listen to classical music. Was she in? Did she play the viola? Yes, but she actually just gravitated naturally towards classical and, having a father like me that had multiple genres, of music being introduced to them she gravitated towards classical and I could not have been prouder of her when she's telling me about Dvorak and his history and I'm like oh my God, go on.
David Wright: 21:41
Well, it's funny. You say that Max, my son started playing you know instrument in elementary school. I thought it was important. I played an instrument all through school. I was in band throughout high school Yep. So I was in band throughout high school Same Yep. So so I I just felt like that was a good. It's just a good overall influence to have in your life.
Matt Fox: 21:59
It's a great skill to have and it's an overall. It really centers you at the same time.
David Wright: 22:04
Plus, it opened you up to other types of music that you might not get otherwise because you're playing it. So so my son again, he was in high school band. He was also. He was in high school band. He also played in the Dearborn Youth Symphony for his four years of high school. Nice, that's something you have to go and try out for Audition, audition for and get chosen, and it wasn't like you're in, you're in. You had to audition every year. So he had to go back every summer to audition for the orchestra.
Matt Fox: 22:31
Earn your spot.
David Wright: 22:32
But again they played all kinds of different music classical, big band, jazz. So it was a great again, another great influence.
Matt Fox: 22:42
But for Casey. Let's go back to Casey here. So this was something that she gave to her grandfather. She was grieving and so to help her get through the grieving process, she went back to the last music that she gave her grandfather as a president, which was michael buble correct, he's a crooner big band, you know. He's got a great voice absolutely iconic.
David Wright: 23:03
I I kind of put him with his silk like just you know, harry connor, I was gonna say harry connick, he that, that same vibe, yes and but did mich?
Matt Fox: 23:12
Bublé turned it. He was taking songs from Queen and then turning them into big band type sound Right.
David Wright: 23:19
Type band sounds.
Matt Fox: 23:20
So he kind of took it to a different level, yes, where Harry Connick Jr really stuck to his guns with original stuff.
David Wright: 23:26
He really did.
Matt Fox: 23:27
Yep, yep. Michael Bublé took it to another, to another level with the big band Right.
David Wright: 23:36
So another 2016 study looked at a connection between music and anxiety by studying people who had a fear of heights. Okay, participants were put in a virtual reality simulation of riding up nine floors in an elevator.
Matt Fox: 23:47
Fly me to the moon. Let me stay among the stars.
Announcer: 23:54
Oh, good for you, sorry, no, that's it.
David Wright: 23:57
That totally makes sense.
Announcer: 24:00
I'll listen to you no more.
David Wright: 24:02
So one group listened to music during the experiment and the other group did not. So the researchers found that those who listened to music recovered faster from the stress of the experience than those who didn't. And many other studies suggest that listening to music can lower stress hormones and blood pressure and heart rate. Fair, so when you want music to give you a break from you know whatever struggles you're going through. Bethany Cook is a PhD psychologist and a music therapist in Chicago.
David Wright: 24:35
Okay, great, that's a great combination I love that music can can give you that short break from your concerns, just like when you read a good book or watch a good movie. It just kind of takes you out of out of that defeatist mindset now and and I'm not saying that in a critical way, it's just sometimes we think when we get stuck in our thoughts it tends to be negative. So that's a good thing.
Matt Fox: 24:56
We get down on ourselves in our head.
David Wright: 24:57
yes, and also music can help you feel your feelings. Now, when I say that I'm just going to see here, this goes back to Casey Cook, the person we started with, who lost her grandmother. She said she recommends putting on a piece of classical music. Listening to music that doesn't have lyrics, let's listener project their feelings of personal struggle into the music. So sometimes you might want to focus on music that doesn't have lyrics.
Matt Fox: 25:28
In this day and age, classical oh, that's old people shit, I know. Yeah, electronic music, edm, okay, yeah, no lyrics, it's just a beat classical.
David Wright: 25:35
Oh, that's old people shit. Uh, yeah, I know, yeah, electronic music, edm okay.
Matt Fox: 25:37
yeah, no lyrics, it's just a beat. Somebody created a work of art and they call it edm, and that is what helped me get through a number of things, including smoking. Okay I, I quit cigarettes with EDM music in my car. Perfect, because I spent a lot of time in my car driving for work. Yes, yep, and smoking. I would actually take something that didn't work a pen in my hand and I would listen to EDM music and I would try to hit my pen like I was smoking but there was no nicotine Right.
