This arm will receive a personalized music intervention.

no intervention: No musical intervention

This arm will carry out its daily activities and will be assessed using the same measures at the beginning of each session and after a delay comparable to the duration of the intervention administered in the experimental group.

Interventions

Music intervention in person

The music intervention consists of listening to two or three pieces of music chosen by each participant that bring them a sense of well-being. One of the two music intervention sessions will be preceded by a moment of relaxation, during which participants will be asked to focus their attention on their breathing, on relaxation, and on the process of self-absorption. This intervention, preceded by a brief moment of relaxation, will take place during the first session for half of the participants and during the second session for the other half.
