Are you stuck in a harmful emotional state? How can music help you to grow as a person? Which song might shift your mindset?

In this podcast episode, Joe Sanok interviews Susan Drumm about how music can help you shift your emotional state.

Podcast Sponsor: Noble

Our friends at Noble have run their own clinics, worked with thousands of clients, and have seen firsthand the burnout and stress that can come with heavy caseloads, difficult topics, and a lack of time.

With these issues in mind, Noble built their app to support therapists by making between-session support easy and offering an opportunity to earn a passive income. Now, with new CPT codes coming in 2023 that will allow therapists to offer reimbursable remote monitoring support, Noble is revolutionizing remote patient monitoring.

The team at Noble has built a program that you can quickly implement to allow you to reimburse code 989X6 for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) remote monitoring.

This is so exciting for therapists and clinics!

This new CPT code, which is coming into play in January 2023, will allow you to make more money per hour and earn passive revenue. Noble’s system provides everything needed to reimburse:

• Objective data gathering device integration
• Assessment and data stream, display, measurement, and integrations
• HIPAA-compliant integrations into other EHRs
• Real-time and immediate interventions for elevated symptoms

If you would like to discuss adding their “plug-and-play” remote patient monitoring for 2023 so you can reimburse the new CPT codes, schedule a time to talk with Eric, their CEO at pop.noble.health

Music & Mindset

At times we feel like we’re bumping our head against a ceiling, but what you’re bumping up against isn’t outside you, it’s inside you.

Susan Drumm

Music is a powerful way to transform your mindset. It has the ability to form and reinforce the neural pathways in the brain.

When we listen to music, almost every region of the brain is stimulated. This allows us to get in immediate touch with our emotional state.

If you find yourself stuck in an emotional state, and you want to shift it, the answer is music.

We Use Music Literally and Figuratively

The literal use of music is that it allows new neural pathways to form in the brain faster than they would otherwise.

However, you can also use music metaphorically. Music can be used to treat old childhood wounds that have come back to affect us as adults.

Some of the most common wounds, or statements [are] ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘I’m excluded’, ‘I’m treated unfairly.

Susan Drumm

If you think of these old wounds as harmful self-beliefs which circle the brain like an old song, then listening to music can be used to create new neural pathways to help you shift the old emotional state.

What is the new experience that you want to have and what is the music that will help you shift state and help you to be in that space?

Susan Drumm

Finding Music to Shift Emotional States

First, you need to identify which emotional state you currently exhibit, and which state you want to have.

Try to identify one anchor song which you feel is strongly associative with your desired mental state. For example, use Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off to feel carefree and confident.

Next, create a playlist of songs that are also associated with that same emotion you want to have.

The brain likes variety, so if one song gets old, we want to shift it up and update the playlist.

Susan Drumm

Using Music to Grow Your Leadership

1. Identify the thing that you want to shift in your life
2. Notice where else in your life you have felt that same way
3. See if there’s a song to match it – and use that song to build awareness about that emotion.

Susan Drumm’s Advice for Private Practitioners

In your practice, you will have ups and downs. Embrace the highs and the lows.
