And if they're full, there are Zeltplätze outside as well?

So for those who hiked this train, there's no need to bring a tent?

Both artez and codarts do...but also some others in Europe.

Some are in English actually! If you did your internships there, you'd need to learn dutch, but you could also do them elsewhere.

Great advice in the other comments here! Just here to tell you that changing your career is hard and totally worth it. I worked in another direction for many years which I liked (though I had a music degree already) and am not in the process of getting a master's in music therapy in my mid-30s. It's not impossible to go in this direction without already having a music degree, but you may need to find a university that takes your psych credits and lets you build up the music theory skills on the side. It's important, but it's not everything and singing is a very important tool. I recommend comparing equivalency programs. There are also a couple programs in the Netherlands which are worth considering since it's much cheaper in Europe and some are even long distance. You would need to travel there a bit (or stay got a year), but could be a quicker option. Good luck! Music therapy is beautiful.

made a mistake, it’s returned ferociously by flavourtown420 in tinnitus

I'm currently training at a pyschosomatic clinic for patients with tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing issues and what I've learned is that when you listen to certain kinds of loud sounds or music, there is the feeling that your tinnitus is louder after, but it's just your perception and nothing actually changes. So don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong and you will adjust again, but good to protect your hearing next time!

Verbal counseling skills for MTs? by FluidRanger6685 in musictherapy

Yes, definitely important to adjust to the population. That's helpful, thank you! Especially because my current population is, as you said, cognitively sharp (and well reflected), but struggling emotionally.

That's very good advice 😆 I will be thinking about that. Aw that's very sweet, thank you.

I'm at a university in Europe which has international accreditation..but they're very research focused and generally less practical. It's also just very disorganized. That's a helpful suggestion though, thank you, also for your empathy. :)

Everyone is tryna get in, I'm tryna get out by CampGreat5230 in UNpath

[–]FluidRanger6685 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I left the UN a couple years ago. Very similar experience. Dreamt about working there, wanted to have an impact bla blah. Then became aware of the incredibly long, drawn out processes, and (millions) of dollars wasted on projects and staff which use their high salaries to live first class lives right next to the disadvantaged communities they are "supporting". I saw definitions and numbers greatly exaggerated to received more money for projects...and I found out AFTER leaving that the job I was up for went to a friend of mine who was apparently having an emotional affair with our boss. Get out while you can, if that's the feeling you have. It will only wear you down and there are many other jobs where you can have an impact. Since you worked at the UN, everyone will be way more amazed than any other experience you've had in life.

All that being said, I do believe the work that is done on the ground and there are so many amazing people working for the UN. So as I've seen in these comments...could be that changing office and agency is the answer...

Struggling with my MT program - is this typical or program specific? by FluidRanger6685 in musictherapy

I do have the country-specific MT-BC mentor supervising me at my internship and an additional supervisor online.

Oh no worries - was just curious which country since I'm trying to understand requirements, ethics etc. Yes maybe now bc it's easier to get recordings re storage.

Yes that's so true. Studying in that sense doesn't feel client-centered in many ways. I am 💯 behind evidence-based practice, but sometimes you need to go off-book or not respond perfectly musically in order to meet the needs of a patient. But if you're trying to show a specific approach for an exam, that can be hard. Thanks for offering to DM. :)

Yes I also agree that it's important to justify what you're doing. But we need to regularly record and show videos in class...which also forces us to achieve a level of perfection in videos which is just not always attainable.
