To manage the extemely painful emotions arising in response to the ableist, pathologising, classist, heteronormative and racist content in music therapy training, I wrote my essays as consecutive scenes of a play - now 4 scenes! Child development, attatchment theory, relational dynamics and therapeutic approaches are all queered via an intersectionally anti-oppressive lens by neurodivergent characters. The narrative opens with a neuroqueer family in North London, heads out to the International Space Station and concludes with a Whodunnit set in IKEA.



Weeks in to my studies, it was noted by the tutors that some of the music therapy course content was actively harmful to me as a trans non-binary, autistic, disabled person from a working class background... "in order to best include you, we don't think you should come in" said my head of department. Queer people face many barriers in accessing queer-affirming therapy and these barriers are rooted in the barriers faced by queer people training in therapy. I'm hoping that my play will generate awareness and discussion around this.
