Can music really help when I feel emotionally 'not enough'?
Anxious/Overwhelmed

Fear of Not Being Enough
Music can’t fix self-worth, but it can soften the emotional state that keeps self-doubt alive. By calming the nervous system, music creates space to feel supported rather than judged, which makes inner criticism easier to loosen over time.
Fear of not being enough lives more in the body than the intellect. That’s why logic often fails to calm it.
Music wellness works because it speaks directly to emotional and physiological layers. When sound reduces tension, self-judgment often quiets naturally, without forcing positive thinking.
