Angry At The Right Things

Listening to the Body

Psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Giroux joins Bronwyn in a rejection of the conventional,  masculine-driven understanding of therapy, based solely on objective metrics, for an embodied and integrated approach. We discuss how to listen to the body, and what it might be communicating during menopause. Caroline allows Bronwyn to lead her in two powerful integration exercises, modeling for listeners.

The Sophistication of Anger

Bronwyn speaks with Alecia Jacobson, host of the Spirit of a Badass podcast, about the nuances of anger and how forgiveness factors in. We discuss the somatic effects of anger in the brain and body, sharing personal anecdotes that inform and inspire, such as how anger is part of a lifelong journey toward self-nurture.

Everyday Sadism

The word "schadenfreude" entails a type of all-too-common sadism, where we delight in the misfortunes of others. Most schadenfreude is unconscious, but when we become aware of and name it, we're able to slay the evil monster, creating more life in the world, by eradicating hate.

How to Embody Kindness

Discern the difference between being nice and being kind, and how healing childhood shame enables true embodied kindness. Kind people feel anger at unkindness and address it, making the world a safer place for everyone.

The Mind is in the Body

This is a fascinating conversation with Dr. Derrick Hines, Physical Therapist and host of The Pain & Performance Podcast. We discuss the intersection of mental and physical health – overcoming the false distinction created by Western culture, as well as the role of HOPE in healing.  

Restoring Balance

Humans have a sacred vocation to restore balance in the world and our lives, which entails bringing about accountability and reciprocity. In order to do this, we must restore balance within us, dislodging guilt and shame, to be responsible for ourselves. This allows us to reclaim our dignity and empower others around us.

A Primer for Unrooting Codependency

Listen in on a therapy session between Bronwyn & fellow therapist Kyira Wackett, host of the Untethering Shame podcast. As Kyira shares her lifelong struggle with codependency, Bronwyn leads her in Integration exercises that foster self-attachment as the antidote.
This episode exemplifies what we can do for ourselves to break free of codependent behaviors such as self-gaslighting, learning to trust ourselves and healing the rift between our brain and body. Most listeners of this podcast relate to Kyira, and this is for you. You are invited to appropriate these exercises and do them for yourself.

Relinquishing the Role of Scapegoat

In this raw and informative conversation between Bronwyn and the host of ThERINpy podcast, Erin Washington, we help Erin reclaim her dignity by relinquishing the role of scapegoat she played in her marriage. We also discuss shame, parenting, triggers and of course, anger. Erin represents many women who are kind but naive to how they've served as a scapegoat for those around them, and Erin's journey is both inspirational and empowering, as she learns how to respond in a dignified but truthful way by being a "mirror." 

Achieving Closure & Releasing Control

Bronwyn and psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Giroux discuss the human need for closure and how this can foster compulsive control over our lives and those around us. We reflect on the role of shame in this formula, and how to release it -- giving ourselves the closure and completion we need. 

The Wisdom of Anger

Bronwyn and Alecia Jacobson, host of Spirit of a Badass podcast, have a raw and honest conversation about anger. We span from the personal to global, discussing the fallout of our lives, families and society, and everything in between. 
Starting at minute 31 we move outward, discussing healthy responses to what is happening in our world today, reflecting on how to cultivate hope while simultaneously feeling our anger at the darkness.
