That therapist might simply be mistaken, because I can think of no real reason why such wideband headphones would have be used with the standard CD format (much less with the lower resolution downloaded music that is more typically used) - especially when many people have a hard time hearing anything above 16 khz. or so.
I have heard about theories stating that our bodies can somehow sense higher harmonics above 20 khz., or that designing speakers with extended high end frequency response somehow creates a more relaxed and natural sonic presentation below 20 khz., but I don't think there is any conclusive evidence to support either theory.
