Burnout, stress and grief are three words and experiences pretty much all of us are very familiar with, aren’t we? Especially during the last two years, it seems like these feelings have been more pervasive or they have intensified as we have been living through a global pandemic. For many of us, the impact this has made have had many ramifications and has affected different aspects of our personal and professional lives. As educators and therapist, we’ve seen the effects of these changes in our work, our colleagues and the children we work with.
We are carrying an immeasurable amount of weigh and responsibilities professionally, in addition to the responsibilities and the different hats we wear in our personal life. We feel it, We are exhausted, stressed and we are burnt out.
On episode 53 of the Music For Kiddos Podcast, I have the pleasure to have music therapist and founder of The Self Care Institute, Ami Kunimura and we talk about burnout and taking care of ourselves as music therapists and music educators. Ami has such a peaceful and calming presence and we hope this episode and her words feel nourishing and encouraging to you amidst the chaos and changes you might be experiencing.
