Bronwyn shares her personal journey, exploring the link between suppressed anger and depression, and its physical effects. They redefine anger as a tool for resolution and discuss the impact of invalidating childhood anger. Discover how shame influences adult behavior and workplace conflicts, intertwining with anger in therapy. Hear personal stories of overcoming shame, strategies for managing global anxiety, and depression. Bronwyn introduces her podcast "Angry at the Right Things" and shares methods for fostering authentic connections.

Key Points

  • Anger, often misunderstood as only explosive behavior, can manifest quietly as anxiety and should be acknowledged as a signal to address underlying issues.
  • Unresolved shame, often originating from childhood experiences, can distort self-perception and hinder emotional health, making it crucial to dislodge and address it for true self-trust and well-being.
  • In times of global turmoil and personal stress, validating one's feelings and seeking small, actionable steps can help maintain mental health and prevent emotional overwhelm.
