Exploring our teenage self can be a way of accessing knowledge about our maturation, sexuality, passions, peer-led behaviours, etc - all kinds of really important factors which show in our adulthood.

Also, you describe how you would work with music in therapy and that seems to suit you. LT can aim to work with music in her own way. Being a musician does not give you special insight into the therapeutic benefit of including music in the therapy room, in the same way as art therapy is not the reserve of artists.
Any inference of negativity is solely yours. I am simply saying that this appears to really not be about the music and LT probably needs to explore that, which is also what her therapist seems to have honed in on. Save your judgment (ironically) for someone else.
