Summary
Ever found yourself hitting play on that song, and instantly, a wave of emotion hits you, or you’re transported back to a forgotten summer, a specific laugh, a past version of yourself? It feels like magic, right? But beneath those goosebumps and surges of feeling lies an incredible, intricate psychological dance. In today's episode, we’re diving deep into the psychology of music – exploring why this universal language speaks directly to our nervous system, how it shapes our memories and identity, and critically, how we use it to cope (for better or worse) in our twenties.
We explore:
- Why music evokes a full body experience
- Music and nostalgia
- How music develops and shapes our identity
- When music can act as a coping mechanism
- How to use music to shift your mood and focus
If you've ever felt like your life has a custom soundtrack, or if you can't imagine a day without your headphones, this episode is for you.
