Christine Wineberg, Psy.D
Date: 11/10/2020
Time: 9:30 AM (business meeting will follow)
Workshop description: Nearly a year into a pandemic and other significant environmental and interpersonal stressors it is common to see the effects of stress and symptoms of anxiety and dep
ression among the people we work with and teach. Our collective psychological well-being requires more focused care than ever.
The use of music as a psychological resource is a concept well familiar to musicians and the cornerstone of music therapy. However, at a time when making music together is restricted and
most performances are canceled, this is a resource out of reach for so many people. This workshop will identify musical and non musical methods to meet the demand of addressing stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms when they emerge within the trusted teacher/student relationship. Drawing from two decades of practice as a music therapist and with insights from clinical psychology, Christine Wineberg will discuss concepts useful when encountering stress, tension, irritability, apathy, fragility and related behaviors that emerge in the studio as well as options for self care to maintain your own well-being.
