Meet Our Guest: Hi! I am Bronwyn Schweigerdt, LMFT, licensed psychotherapist, anger expert, and Podcast Host of Angry at the Right Things.
I specialize in anger as well as shame, the two most misunderstood feelings for both therapists and lay people alike. These feelings often cause us to dissociate – which leads to mental illness, such as anxiety and depression.
My mission is to reorient our relationship with anger to view it as a light on our emotional dashboard – inviting us to look under the hood in order to bring repair. As we do, we learn how to trust ourselves, viewing our anger as something that gives us wisdom, so we can channel it out of our bodies into boundaries and assertive speech.
Most of all, I love to lead others in “Integration Exercises”, in which they give back their feelings of shame to the rightful owner, and reconnect to themselves.
