Abstract

This philosophical inquiry examined the use of therapeutic songwriting (TS) within a trauma-informed care (TIC) approach to support the processing of adverse childhood experiences within Substance Use Disorder (SUD) recovery. Drawing on the integral use of both outcome-oriented and experience-oriented songwriting methods (Bruscia, 2014) to support the processing of adverse childhood experiences (Kirkland, 2022), an argument was conceptualized and articulated by mapping specific songwriting elements (Baker, 2015) onto the specific principles of trauma-informed care. Relevant literature on SUD and SUD recovery, TIC, and therapeutic songwriting in SUD recovery was explicated to establish a foundation for the argument. Data analysis focused on specific songwriting elements and their potential to support key principles of TIC. Key findings demonstrated the potential for the utilization of a) the song components to support the TIC principles of safety and trustworthiness and transparency; b) the songwriting process to support the TIC principles of peer support, collaboration and mutuality, and cultural, historical and gender issues; c) the songwriting artifact to support the TIC principle of empowerment, voice and choice. Clinical, research, and educational implications are discussed along with limitations of the study.
