Frequently asked questions…

Yes! This e-book was specifically written for those who are new to this population, as well as those who are more seasoned veterans. We hope this e-book will invigorate your practice and give you confidence when working with individuals with substance use disorders.

This e-book could be beneficial to advanced music therapy students and interns who are under the supervision of a board-certified music therapist. Part of the learning experience as a music therapy/intern is navigating a session that goes “haywire,” and thankfully, you also have supervision regularly available to you.

The e-book is 46 pages long, and includes ideas for session openers, specific interventions, and a brief reflection by the author, Morgan.

No. We recognize that 12 Step programs contain religious overtones, however, we do believe the program can offer common themes that almost every client can relate to.

Morgan shares, “…my late counselor, Jim Murphy, LAC, once humorously said, “Even if step work isn’t for you, it is.”
