The song opens with the admittance that one is struggling: "Maybe I’m wounded, the pain it is passing…” Then, the song plunges into an uplifting chorus portraying confidence and courage in the face of struggle: "Let it rain, let it pour…” The chorus concludes with, "There’s no room left for darkness when you’re filled with the light, it comes out.” From here, the song reframes pain and struggle as an opportunity for growth and for moving forward: "The truth hurts the worst so you might as well face it, so the slate can again be wiped clean…” The message in "Let It Rain” aligns with the notion of radical acceptance in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Thus, the song fits well with clients who are struggling with something that appears to them to be overwhelming or insurmountable (e.g., depressive episode, anxiety, grief/loss). The song affirms that the process of facing and overcoming adversity can be incredibly difficult, while also highlighting the rewarding potential for relief and growth if one faces issues directly and finds one’s voice. A counselor may wish to play the song in session or to have a client listen to the song for homework, then to process the song with the client, paying particular attention to affirming one’s struggle while also recognizing one’s power to overcome it.<br></div>]]></description>
