Bronwyn Schweigert’s  journey to becoming an anger expert is both inspiring and enlightening. After experiencing two severe depressive episodes, she discovered that a common thread among her struggles and those of her clients was disassociated anger.
Anger, she explains, is not just an emotion to be feared or suppressed; it is a vital signal that can lead to healing and personal growth. Many of us have been conditioned from a young age to disassociate from our anger, often leading to mental and physical health issues. Bronwyn shares how this disassociation can manifest in various ways, including autoimmune disorders and chronic pain.
Healthy anger, she points out, is about assertiveness rather than aggression, allowing us to express our needs and protect ourselves. This shift in perspective is crucial for anyone struggling with feelings of shame or inadequacy.
Bronwyn also discusses the relationship between anger and victimhood, explaining how unresolved anger can lead to a cycle of shame and self-betrayal. By confronting our anger and processing it, we can break free from this cycle and cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, personal development, or simply looking for ways to navigate their emotions more eternally The Right Things.
