Abstract
The Soundtrack of Self: Music Therapy’s Impact on Memory and Identity explores the transformative interaction between music, memory, and identity within the therapeutic landscape. This introduces the intricate interplay of neurology, psychology and the arts unveiling how music therapy serves as a powerful catalyst for memory recall, trauma processing, and building a strong sense of self. Through real-life case studies and theoretical insights, it highlights how music's emotional power engages the brain and connects past, present, and future experiences. By examining the therapeutic role of music, the discussion encourages participants to consider how music can enhance self-discovery and shape the unique soundtrack of our lives.
