ABSTRACT: An article from the US Department of Veteran Affairs, this focuses on the use of drum circles to releive symptoms of PTSD among veterans. Resilient Rhythms is the name of the program and it is used by VA therapists to help Veterans deal with trauma, socialize with other Veterans, and express themselves more freely. The instructors’ goal, they said. is giving hope to marginalized members of the community who can benefit from rhythm-based programs. It also covers how Drum Therapy can improve depression symptoms, through a link to an article in Psycohology Today, as well as a 2017 study about how “Motor Learning Induces Plasticity in the Resting Brain – Drumming Up a Connection.”
