@mayoscout Thank you for your military service. I'm sorry you are suffering now, and I wanted to share a link to a music therapy retreat. This was started by a friend of mine, and they have helped many veterans deal with PTSD. Music heals, and this works because a person is paired with a professional song writer and together, you tell your story through a song that you create together and perform. Check it out. If this is something you could do, I would highly recommend it. I've known Mack a lot of years and doing this is very important to him in helping others to heal.

Thank you for this link. I checked it out and it's something I am interested in.

I used to be heavy into music before the Army. I was in pop group in high school, played guitar, sang, danced, etc.

I lost all desire for that after my deployments to the Mideast starting in 2005. And due to head trauma from injuries and just not touching anything due to PTSD and depression I've basically forgot how to play, sing, and I definitely can't dance because of injuries. It's hard to play instruments with neuropathy in my hands and arms now but I want to give it a shot again.

Music is an amazing thing but I've had trouble reestablishing happiness with it.

This retreat looks really cool.

I live in Texas. That could be a problem as I would like to do the retreat in Aspen as my primary choice or Nashville.

Do you think I should reach out to them?
