"Rhythm is a dancer

It's a soul companion

You can feel is in the air"

-Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap!

MissMaeg is joined by Board Certified Music Therapist, musician, and person in recovery, Tim Ringgold. Tim shares with Maegan why "spa"-like meditation music is NOT as helpful as we may think and how rhythm is a crucial ingredient to helping us heal, especially in the wake of trauma. Tim says that his acronym S.O.B.E.R. helps to remind us how to be the song writer of our own lives. Take advantage of Tim's special FREE offer for your "Relaxation Vacation" now by visiting his website https://www.timringgold.com.

Tim owns Sonic Divinity Music Therapy Services and is an author of the book titled Sonic Recovery: Harness the Power of Music to Stay S.O.B.E.R. He has been featured on NBC, BuzzFeed, Fox, CBS, Today, TedEd, and TedX for his phenomenal work and experience in the world of music therapy.
