Today’s conversation is with Dr. Susan Hannan, an expert on the treatment of anxiety and trauma-related disorders.
Dr. Hannan is a Licensed Psychologist, Director of Clinical Research at the Center for Integrated Behavioral Health, and an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Lafayette College.
As you’ll hear, Susan thinks deeply about the ways in which our psychology impacts each facet of our lives, both inside and outside of her research.
Expect to learn about the role that self-esteem plays in emotion regulation, creating distance between your self and your ego, our thoughts on commonly shared advice, and much more.
Enjoy!
