Music therapy is a useful intervention for children who have experienced sexual abuse. It can offer them opportunities to express their current difficulties, to tell their story musically and metaphorically, and to receive support and care from an appropriately trained and boundaried adult. This article describes the Journey of a ten-year-old boy in psychodynamically-oriented music therapy, focusing on his use of stories as a means of exploring issues within the therapeutic process, as well as reflecting on his experience of abuse.
