Online Masterclass Systemic Music Therapy – Monica Wagner
- Research
- Online Event
In this master class, Monica Wagner shows how psychological, physical and cognitive change processes can be made directly visible and audible by using thematic and family sculptures through musical dialogues. In this way, they can efficiently contribute to mental and emotional awareness processes within supervision and coaching.
This master class focuses on working with thematic and family sculptures. Monica also briefly shows some underlying theoretical underpinnings such as communication theory( Watzlawick), systems theory( J.Haley, B.Hellinger) and solution-focused therapy with psychodrama aspects.
Attention is paid to these aspects:
- Understanding unconscious emotion regulation aspects
- Experiencing time dimensions of past-present and future
- Insight in the field of non-verbal communication patterns from systemic music therapy.
- Experience-based insight into (transgenerational) family systems and patterns from underlying personal themes and dilemmas.
- Being able to arrive at concrete change processes based on thinking, willingness and feeling
Monica Wagner has years of clinical and ambulatory practice experience within forensic psychiatry and has developed a contextual and systemic music therapy together with a psychotherapist, working with musical sound constellations, sculptures and musical dialogues. Since 2002, she has been working as a learning therapist, methodology teacher, coach and supervisor at the Hogeschool Arnhem Nijmegen (HAN) and, since 2018, also as a music professional therapist within the mental health sector. She holds master's degrees in Coaching and Psychology (2015) and NLP/TA and systemic work (2019), with a focus on self-reflection through musical sculptures. In her own practice, she focuses on preventive care, mobilising self-healing capacity, emotion regulation, anxiety and stress reduction from a systemic approach. Since 2016, she has also been teaching learning therapy and learning supervision in the context of systemic music therapy. In working with systemic music therapy interventions, she has also increasingly encountered aspects of transgenerational trauma and delayed grief processes.
