BONUS EPISODE! The Life Of A Swiftie Therapist: Songs, Sessions, & Swiftie Breakthroughs (with Lauren McKay, LPC)

Season 6

BONUS EPISODE!  In this episode, I explore with fellow Swiftie Therapist, Lauren McKay the profound impact of Taylor Swift's music on mental health and therapy. We discuss how Taylor’s lyrics resonate with personal experiences, the importance of music in therapeutic settings, and the supportive community of Swifties. Lauren and I dive into the evolution of Swift's themes over the years, her influence on vulnerability in music, and the anticipation surrounding her upcoming album release: the Life of A Showgirl. Through personal anecdotes and insights, we highlight the therapeutic power of music, community, and the artistry that is Taylor Swift.
