Lyrical Parallels is a clinical therapy group run by licensed therapist Aili Hermann, LCSW.
As a therapist and Sleep Token fan, Aili will provide a welcoming space to use Sleep Token's lyrics and music as inspiration for discussing common mental health themes: depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, toxic vs. healthy relationships, recovery, hope, resilience, and more.
This therapy group will provide space for members to talk openly and confidentially through their personal emotions, connections, and reflections about Sleep Token's music and lyrics.
Aili will also provide psychoeducation on these mental health topics and relevant coping skills.
Why Sleep Token?
Sleep Token is a transformative, soul-stirring, genre-defying musical project based out of the UK. The members are anonymous and perform masked so as to let the music speak for itself.
The musicians are known as Vessel (vocals, instrumentals) and II (percussion, drums). They tour with beloved members III (bass guitar) and IV (guitar).
Since its inception in 2016, the band has developed a passionate fan base who have connected deeply with the topics Vessel has written about and the musical arc of each song, album, and connected lore. The lyrical content masterfully expresses the deepest, darkest thoughts, fears, longings, and vulnerabilities that are often reminiscent and representative of those with mental health struggles.
In parallel, a thread of resilience, recovery, and healing is deeply woven into the arc of Vessel’s stories. Sleep Token’s fans feel seen and heard in a way that feels uniquely cathartic and taps into the collective unconscious of all humanity.
