Theory Therapy mixes are about sharing the music that you personally find therapeutic, cathartic or restorative. What does that mean for you?

Music that elicits a particular emotion, like crying at the end of a film.

Is there a particular album or piece of music that you find yourself returning to for similar reasons?

Ulla - tumbling towards a wall, anything by grouper.

Tell us something exciting that's coming up in your life, music or otherwise.

Other than the upcoming tape on Theory Therapy ;) there’s always more tramping to do!
