The Making of an Entertainment Therapist


I have always been fascinated with helping others. For years, I considered becoming a license counselor so that I could help others talk through their problems. The more I thought about my ability to sit quietly, ask questions, and just listen, the more I questioned if I could actually be a therapist. I mean me quiet, yeah that is not realistic.
I have been singing for years and music has always been my biggest therapy. How could I merge the two? How could I actually help people with my music? I have decided that entertainment therapy will be my outlet. You may think, I have heard of music therapy but just what is entertainment therapy? This question is exactly what I intend to figure out. I have never heard of anyone doing entertainment therapy. This is a field where I want to be trailblazer. I want to offer therapy through all types of entertainment. Sounds easy, right? I hope so!
Of course, I intend to write songs and manuals that will service other therapist and clients. I do not intend to publish these products in the local stores and selling them out of my office will only affect the community.  This becomes a problem in distribution, so the best solution I have found, as of today, would be The Orchard. I choose The Orchard because I can distribute music and create films. The problem is finding a POD (print-on-demand) site that will allow me to create music, film and literature. So maybe that will be the first order of business, creating a POD that does just that.

This will be an adventurous journey that will take a lot of research and patience. Continue to follow me on this blog as we journey together through the making of an entertainment therapist.
