HealthCetera will be regularly airing segments from em dash podcast hosted by Dr. Kimberly Acquaviva.  em dash is a podcast that “explores patients’ and healthcare professionals’ lived experiences in the healthcare arena.” Today, you can hear Season One Episode 11, “What it Feels Like to Be Me” featuring Brandon Wolf on HealthCetera on  Little Water Radio.

Below is the em dash podcast write-up for “What it Feels Like to Be Me”:

Meet Brandon Wolf, a survivor of the Pulse shooting in Orlando and Vice President of The Dru Project, “an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization on a mission to spread love across the nation and promote gay straight alliances.” In this episode (recorded on May 22nd before the Manchester bombing), Brandon talks about identifying as “intersectional,” Black, White, gay, and male and the ways in which these identities have influenced his thoughts and feelings about healthcare. Brandon describes the “awkward first date” feeling of seeing a new healthcare professional and talks about the impact feeling judged during the encounter can have on one’s willingness to continue seeing that healthcare professional. We talk about Brandon’s experience with mental healthcare professionals after the Pulse shooting as well as about what the world of healthcare might have been like if his friend Drew Leinonen, a master’s-prepared psychologist, hadn’t been killed at Pulse. Brandon shares how his view of the world has changed as a result of the Pulse shooting, and he talks about how his relationship with his father has changed over the years. Finally, Brandon shares his thoughts about what healthcare professionals need to know about gun violence and the impact it has on survivors.

Mental Health, Radio/Podcast

Music Therapy is the evidence-based use of music in clinical situations that help people reach desired health outcomes.  There is evidence that music can alter brain chemistry and components of the immune system. 

Music can help improve mental health by reducing certain symptoms of depression and by making people feel more in control. It can reduce stress, help sleep, and elevate mood. In many healthcare settings music is being used to complement treatments patients are receiving.

Senior Fellow & co-producer, Eve Adler interviews Lori Meono, Psy.D. in this HealthCetera segment. Dr. Meono has worked extensively looking at the integration of music and psychology with diverse groups and populations. She has provided psychological services at community counseling centers, homeless shelters, transitional living facilities for women and their children, and at several academic institutions in California.
