Bronnie Lennox Thompson initially trained as an occupational therapist, graduating 1984, and later completed her Psychology MSc in 1999.  In 2015 Bronnie was awarded her PhD.    Bronnie has worked in pain management for most of her clinical career, with her primary focus on pain management at work. She has practiced in a huge variety of interdisciplinary pain management programmes, and her main interest areas include pain and anxiety, motivation for self-management, resilience and daily coping choices.   So we couldn't really not have her on right?!  Having just recorded a wonderful CPD course with her, Anna Maria and Matt found ourselves heading deep into conversation, late into the night, and just had to turn it into a podcast.  We cover a huge range of topics, from UK Massage Therapy Education to Clinical Communication Skills and even Matt's mood lighting that he had on during recording...it's all there!   For more on Bronnie please do visit her incredible blog - https://healthskills.wordpress.com/ and in particular her courses, she's just awesome!
