J E R E M Y ' S S T O RY: F RO M PAT I E N T T O L E A D E R P o s t Tr a u m a t i c S t r e s s D i s o r d e r ( P T S D ) is something that I will always live with after my traumatic experience landed me in rehabilitation as a double-arm amputee. It was in 2003 that I was first introduced to music therapy and, subsequently, to IMNF. Music therapy sessions with Benedikte Scheiby and David Ramsey helped me use music and song writing to access my feelings and put things into perspective. It was through IMNF that I was able to regain the strength and perspective I needed to go back into the community. After I was home and finished school, I grabbed the opportunity to volunteer in 2013 at IMNF in the Bronx, NY. Through this, my healing and experience came full-circle when I was able to mentor and model recovery for many others. I am grateful for the science of the power of music that I've learned at IMNF. For the past seven years, I have enjoyed up close and personal contact with patients, residents, and participants from the community and will continue to work and help in whatever way I can to strengthen and uplift others. With leadership from Dr. Tomaino, I know that my work exemplifies the words, "Music Has Power." – Jeremy Deliotte
