Does social media make you feel like crap? Are you wondering why other artists are getting the press / shows / labels that you're not getting?
Today we dig into some of the more negative feelings that can arise for artists - especially when we compare ourselves to other musicians.
Jealousy / comparison / envy / resentment can feel bad, but it's telling you something! And, we can listen to those feelings, and actually make them useful!
On today's episode of Music Therapy, Jessica talks with therapist Rachael Jones all about how to listen to those feelings, understand them deeply, and then make an action plan that gets you what you want - in a way that aligns with your personal values.
