In this video, music therapist and Berklee Online professor Suzanne Hanser discusses a passage from her book, “Manage Your Stress and Pain through Music,” where a patient is able to substitute bad habits with music. "I crave the music, but it's not a compulsion like it is with cigarettes, and I know it's good for me,” he says. “As soon as I start the music, my impulse dissipates, and I feel a wave of calm come over me. I don't really need the music. I just like it very, very much.”
