Sometimes words are so limiting. There are days when a groan, a sigh, a growl or a sob can get your point across more clearly.

“One of my clients started doing these types of things in her marriage,” says Susan Elizabeth Hale, a music therapist and sound healer from Asheville, N.C. “When there were intense things that couldn’t be solved in words, they would take it into ‘sounding’ - almost like an opera - because it’s easier to just go ‘earrahughahuh’ than to say ‘you didn’t take out the garbage,’ which is really blaming. But if you’re kind of growling, and they’re growling, you’re working it out, then it’s easier to talk.”
