Exploring How Listening to Music Can Affect Your PTSD Symptoms

G.I.Tunes is a unique program designed to provide veterans the opportunity to engage in and explore how music listening can affect ongoing symptoms of PTSD. The purpose of this program is to provide aid in choosing songs, creating playlists and implementing them when symptoms of PTSD are present, as well as exploring how music listening can effect diagnosed PTSD symptoms.

Although G.I. Tunes is NOT music therapy, board-certified music and occupational therapists will aid in creating playlists that fit a veteran’s needs, updating the playlist, and conducting music therapy groups open to all veterans in the G.I.Tunes program.  For more information on this program, call the office at 419-424-7036.
