Jerry Burton: Healing Traumatic Brain Injuries Through Music

I can tell you that I have not experienced a downside in working with brain injury and music, as it relates to their families.
Ever thought about the healing power of music? In this special encore episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', guest host Dr. Mark Green sits down with Jerry Burton, a certified brain injury specialist and seasoned musician. With 30 years in the human services field, Jerry has split his career between mental health and traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment. He’s not just a specialist; he’s a performer who’s jammed with legends like Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix.
Jerry shares how these musical experiences shape his innovative approach to TBI treatment. He believes music's universal language can bridge gaps in traditional therapy, especially for veterans. Tune in to hear about Rockridge Live, an annual music event he founded for TBI clients, their families, and friends. It’s like American Idol but with all winners! This episode sheds light on evidence-based practices and the unique challenges in treating brain injuries.
Perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of music and medicine, or those supporting loved ones with TBI.
