Psychology in Seattle.

Hey deserving listeners, today we have a special guest,

Hannah Bronson, who won our most recent scholarship, $2,500 from Psychology in Seattle. She submitted

her application along with dozens of others and the psychology and Seattle team was a hard choice

particularly down to like the last five or so but Hannah really stuck out as the clear winner because she is not only a

clinician who is helping people through music therapy and general therapy, but she in her spare time, which a lot of novice therapists don't really have, she has been dedicating herself to changing society and

changing systems and integrating programs, particularly into the military, to help

people with PTSD and head trauma.

And I, you know, in the application, she described it and she didn't go into detail, but I knew behind all that effort or all behind the sort of tagline was a tremendous amount of effort and worry and you know

you're doing this kind of work when you're advocating for new programs

particularly with the United States government

you're going to find that there's barriers, there's resistance,

and there's questions and uncertainty.

You could spend three years of your life dedicating yourself to some effort that could just not

go anywhere.

And so I just really wanted to reward her hard work to try to make the world a better place and have her on the show to talk about it. So welcome to the show, Hannah.

Thank you for having me.

I'm excited to be here. So let's introduce the podcast. This is called the

Psychology and Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr Kirkconda. I'm a therapist and a

professor.

Hannah, can you please introduce yourself to Podcast Land?

Sure, my name is Hannah Brompton and I'm a board certified music therapist.
