She discusses the profound impact of suppressed anger on mental health, particularly in women, and the importance of expressing emotions in therapy. The conversation explores gender dynamics in emotional expression, the effectiveness of therapy, and the critical role of empathy and validation in the healing process. Bronwyn emphasizes that sharing feelings is essential for emotional well-being and that a good therapist acts as a mirror to help clients understand themselves better. Bronwyn's Bio: Bronwyn is a therapist, podcaster and anger expert. She has a masters in counseling and another in nutrition. Key Takeaways: Bronwyn's journey into therapy was born from personal struggles with depression.Suppressed anger can lead to severe mental health issues.Anger is often misunderstood and can be a catalyst for healing.Women are socialized to suppress anger, while men are conditioned to express it.Therapy effectiveness often hinges on the therapist's ability to provide a framework for understanding emotions.Words and expression are crucial for emotional grounding and healing.Empathy from therapists can significantly impact a client's healing process.Sharing feelings can transform painful experiences into manageable ones.A good therapist listens deeply and reflects back to the client.Understanding our emotions is a collaborative effort between therapist and client. A lot of emotional issues stem from ignorance.Understanding our past can help us move forward.We often bring unresolved issues into our relationships.Anger is a natural emotion that needs to be expressed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may not address the root of emotional issues.Shame is a social construct, not an inherent emotion.Flourishing individuals contribute positively to society.Emotions should be felt and expressed, not suppressed.Therapy should focus on relational dynamics, not just individual issues.Self-awareness is key to emotional healing.Bronwyn's linksPodcast: https://angryattherightthings.podbean.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bronwyn.schweigerdt/Support the showWebsite: https://functionalhealthcoaching.net/Please support this podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1393414/supporters/new Join my emailing list for weekly updates including podcast episodes and fun things about health and wellness https://bit.ly/intheknowemailLike Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/therootofourhealth/Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/therootofourhealthSubscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@therootofourhealthEmail me: therootofourhealth@gmail.com
