Songs to Help You Get Out of a Pit

Hello Everyone!

It has been quite a while since my last blog post. In this time I have been busy seeing clients and teaching at UC Denver and haven't had the time to post consistently. However, I did have an idea for a post of songs that help people get out of "pits," or the low places we sometimes find ourselves. Given the fact that as I am writing we are in a state of National Emergency and a global pandemic, I thought it might be even more helpful to post such a topic. Below is a list of songs that have helped people start to climb out of a pit. To be transparent, this list comes from a combination of me, people in my personal life, and clients of Boes Therapy Services, LLC. Links are provided to YouTube videos for each song.
