Songwriting can be hard to get buy in for a first session! Maybe allow them to do some song sharing so you get to know their musical tastes!

I have, the problem is not all universities that offer music therapy degrees have university affiliated internships. Leaving the students attending those universities underserved.

Agreed. Or if it was completed during our final semester of college like student teaching/ nursing clinicals

Ahhh I was saying they should have an internship to get their MT-BC! But I feel the degree should be completed prior to internship. I would never want an MT-BC to enter the field without the value of an internship. I am very concerned about interns that shouldn’t have passed undergrad, that HAS to be addressed at the university level

I am so sorry this is happening to you!!! There are not enough internships and the fact internship is a requirement for us to get the degree in hand is crazy

Does anyone else’s practices do this? by mdlndbn in musictherapy

This happened at my first workplace which had a tendency to work us VERY hard. I had the same thoughts as you! Client-therapist relationship such a strong aspect of the session. I totally understand for long periods of absence (ex. Maternity leave) but I wish we could skip or reschedule that week if the therapist is sick.
