Angry At The Right Things

Understanding Toxic People 

Many people whose behavior we don’t understand want us to nurture them with our attention. Once our eyes open to this, everything makes sense, and we have wisdom for how to deal with such people. 

In this therapy session-style episode, Erin serves as an illustration for how we enable toxic people by unwittingly nurturing them. We see how perfectionism is often rooted in children turning their anger at attachment figures onto themselves. In this episode, Bronwyn leads Erin in a differentiation exercise to wake up to her mom – so she can awaken to the truth of her ex-husband, do right by herself.

ThERINpy podcast with Erin Washington

In an interview with Kristen Boice, from Close the Chapter podcast, Bronwyn shares how to differentiate from our parents and give ourselves the approval we need, moving toward Self-attachment. This allows us to surrender false hope for relationships that harm us, and to live like we matter -- because we do.

Dr. Derrick Hines from the Pain & Performance Podcast shares listener questions for Bronwyn, including:

- The difference between anger & hatred

- How men are more likely to dissociate from feelings than women

- Which emotions are most linked with the use of pornography

 

Bronwyn's CE trainings for mental health practitioners are available at https://www.integrateanger.com/

Bronwyn talks with Dr. Ali Najafian Jazi, psychiatrist and psychotherapist about the power of experiencing and expressing all emotions. We discuss how emotions don't dissipate when ignored, but stagnate within our body, making us sick, and how healing and closure comes through listening to our body, and responding with compassion.

Dr. Jazi can be contacted at: www.drjazi.com, and info@drjazi.com

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.
