I'd like to get ideas (or actual music) from Ms. Sykes, or others who do this type of therapy. Thank you, and have a blessed Christmas.

That doesn't concur with my personal experience. When I went through depression I was more sensitive to the emotionality of song lyrics, especially the sad songs. I had to make the effort to not listen to them and choose more upbeat music. I must be an exception! I’m surprised to read the suggestion that music doesn’t reach people when they are depressed.
