A young teen girl glued to her phone. Nothing terribly out of the ordinary there, but everything became clear when she was asked to talk about why she refused to go to school. She wouldn’t speak.

Session after session Belinda tried and tried to make contact but nothing. Finally, one day Belinda tried playing some music and saw a little smile creep across her face as she slowly began to share some tiny pieces of information about the music she liked. They began talking about anxiety and opening up about going to school.

The teen started to display confidence in talking about her fears, but at the same time her confidence seemed to be helping her decide that she wanted to go back to school.

Sometimes it just takes quiet patience and a little music to turn it all around.
