30min | 12/11/2023

Description

Anger got you down in your divorce recovery? Then this is the podcast for you. My discussion with Bronwyn sheds light on the formidable perceived foe of anger. Is it bad? Is forgiveness mistaken for hatred? Is there such a thing as therapeutic divorce. Why are feelings meant to be shared? These and lots more questions are answered in this podcast. I have to admit, I thought going in - I was going to get a lecture of how anger was bad and you need to suppress it. Nope! Totally opposite! Listen as Bronwyn really surprises me and you with her take on the manifestations of anger, why boundaries are so important, connecting with your inner child and some signs when therapy is not working.

Bronwyn is an anger specialist and family therapist. She helps individuals and families navigate through anger and its impact on relationships. With years of experience in therapy, Bronwyn has a deep understanding of the role anger plays in our lives and how it can be channeled in a ‘more enjoyable’ way.

Challenging the notion that anger is always negative Bronwyn sees anger as a warning light, indicating that something needs fixing. Suppressing anger can lead to various mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and addiction. Bronwyn emphasizes the importance of feeling and expressing our emotions, including anger, in healthy ways. She believes that forgiveness is a choice, not an emotion, and that it requires humility and an admission of wrongdoing from the other person. Bronwyn also highlights the significance of boundaries in relationships and the need to attune to our own feelings.
