Dynamic Lynks Blog

The new year often brings a series of songs, social media posts, and social pressure to make New Year's resolutions. As clinicians, change and growth are an inherent part of our daily practice; we hone our clinical gut, get better at musical skills, and manage our day-to-day clients. However, I find that trying to make 1-2 BIG changes as we weather the new year isn't always realistic.

Applying for internships can be an overwhelming and daunting task, so… music therapy students: this one is for you! I’d like to share some tips and tricks I learned throughout the application process that ultimately helped me secure a position at Dynamic Lynks. 

In order to sustain taking care of other people, we must first take care of ourselves. A couple of years ago, we released a blog post titled 30 Days of Gratitude, with a daily action item to promote mindfulness and positivity. This year, to build on that, here are 30 days of gratitude journal prompts.

If you’ve been on Instagram or TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen Labubus, quirky, wide-eyed collectibles that have captured the hearts of teens and adults alike. At Dynamic Lynks, we’re always on the lookout for creative ways to merge pop culture with therapy, because meeting clients where they’re at builds trust, excitement, and motivation. Just like we did with Pokémon, we’ve discovered that Labubus aren’t just fun to collect; they can be powerful therapeutic tools. 

We are happy to welcome another skilled and passionate music therapy intern to Dynamic Lynks this fall: Leah! We asked Leah to share more about herself so our Dynamic community can get to know her better. We are excited for Leah to join us in sessions and groups over the next months.
