This article presents the analysis of the case of a 70-year-old talented musician, divorced, who presented to the psychologist with specific symptoms of restlessness, anguish, loneliness: lack of self-esteem, repeated worries and lack of hope for the future. 36 sessions were held between April and July 2022, in a virtual way. During the free interview, it was found that the patient had emotional excitability and existential crisis. The case was approached with the help of transpersonal therapy, specifically from the use of traditional therapeutic resources: listening and regression, and holistic ones: meditation and music therapy. The results indicate that emotional excitability was potentiated for the positive aspect, strengthening the patient's self-image and self-esteem. With this, the patient returned to composing music, exercising the creative and transforming process, he became more assertive, demonstrating individual growth and personal evolution, being able to make decisions about his future.
