i feel for those of you who struggle with issues about certain music. music is very powerful, and it's an important part of most people's lives. i wish you all strength to get through the tough times. and yet remember the music that makes you feel peaceful, safe, happy or loved as well. maybe it could be helpful to have a song or two that you know so well, it can be something you can sing to yourself (or just think to yourself, have another one in your system sing it to you, whatever works for you!) when you feel triggered by other music. have a special song that makes you feel special. i have a few songs i know that just make me smile and feel warm inside. just a thought!

Thank you michelle
I totally agree -- that music if VERY powerful.
It can cause me to "disappear" and yet some music can calm the shaking within and some other types can even express what the self is not able to- tenderness, anger, excitement and many other emotions that can be a struggle to express. I've been known to gravitate especially towards angry music -- think it's because anger is not expressed through self as it is unsafe, so the music helps get out some of what is being felt.
Some of us would be lost without music and yet...... it is a slippery slope for sure!
best to all
