Picture this: someone is screaming at you as loud as they can for forty-five minutes straight. For most people, it would be the stuff of nightmares. For author Jason Schreurs and members of the punk rock community, it's therapy.
Scream Therapy: A Punk Journey through Mental Health follows the transformational journeys of Schreurs and the other punks he learns from, revealing the healing power of a misunderstood and underestimated music community. They come to a life-changing realization--punk rock helped them at their lowest points and never left their sides. Coping with childhood sexual abuse and an undiagnosed mental health condition, Schreurs discovers punk rock as a youth and becomes part of its tight-knit scene. When a psychiatrist blindsides him with a bipolar diagnosis in his mid-40s, he embarks on a mental health discovery mission.
In Scream Therapy, musicians, advocates, activists, and fans prescribe the punk subculture as a catalyst for mental health--a place where it's okay to not be okay. Schreurs' attitude and conviction pogo-dance off the page as he and others in the book claw through their worst days, seek stability, and support each other to live better lives, all to the soundtrack of pissed-off music. Scream Therapy asks a crucial question. If punk rock can provide such therapy, why aren't more people screaming?
