Health Benefits For Drummers
The third stage of resilience as a drummer or drum teacher is accepting what has happened if things go wrong. This doesn’t mean minimising or dismissing it, but accepting that it cannot be changed. Try to understand what it means to you that this event happened.
How can you make sense of it?
Is there anything you can learn from it?
In cases where the circumstances are ambiguous it can feel very difficult to move through it and part of the process may mean learning to live with unanswered questions. In this sense, acceptance involves acknowledging that there
are some things that will happen that will be outside of your control.
In events where the adverse experience involves mistreatment or abuse, becoming compliant and passively accepting events may hinder rather than help you come to terms with what has happened. If this has happened to you it is
important that you seek help from trained professionals who will be able to support you.
