In this episode, we step back into the early days of modern music therapy — where the healing power of sound was rediscovered not in a laboratory, but on the battlefields of World War II.
Through real stories of wounded veterans, the science behind trauma response, and the pioneering work of musicians who stepped into military hospitals, we uncover how music became a lifeline for thousands of soldiers fighting battles long after the war had ended.
This episode blends history with humanity: the courage of veterans, the breakthroughs of early clinicians, and the deeply personal stories of those who found their way back through melody — including a tribute to my own WWII grandfather, a former POW who used music to survive one of the darkest experiences a human can endure.
This is a story about resilience, recovery, and the unexpected places where healing begins.
