Shame is a lie and we need to remove it to believe our inherent value -- with Bronwyn Schweigerdt

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom." -- Anais Nin

Bronwyn Schweigerdt is a licensed psychotherapist and host of the Angry at the Right Things podcast. In her work, she emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions, particularly anger, which is often repressed or disowned. She believes that emotions such as hatred and betrayal, if left unaddressed, can manifest as mental health issues like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or even psychosis.

Rather than focusing on fixing others’ problems, Bronwyn's approach encourages people to confront and verbalize their most difficult feelings. She asserts that these emotions don't disappear—they stay within the body and, if ignored, can cause long-term psychological distress. By helping individuals externalize their anger and reconnect with it, she helps them break free from harmful cycles and heal their relationships with both their anger and themselves.

Bronwyn holds two master's degrees—one in counseling and another in nutrition—and is a well-rounded professional who also serves as a public speaker and author. Through her therapeutic work, she has helped many people achieve lasting relief from mental health struggles by addressing the root causes of their emotions.
