Bronwyn Schweigerdt - Processing Emotions For Better Health

180 Nutrition -The Health Sessions.

This week I'm excited to welcome Bronwyn Schweigerdt to the podcast. Bronwyn is a psychotherapist with a master's degree in counseling and nutrition. She's commonly referred to as an evocative psychotherapist who helps people reconnect to their anger and heal their relationship with themselves. In this episode, we discuss the traits that may point to an underlying anger issue, the telltale signs that we aren't processing emotions in a healthy way, and strategies to resolve internal issues.

Some questions asked during this episode:

• What is an evocative psychotherapist?

• How does conventional anger management differ from your approach?

• How might we know that we aren’t processing our emotions in a healthy way?

(01:18) Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Bronwyn Schweigerdt to the podcast. Bronwyn, how are you?

Bronwyn

(01:26) I'm good. Thank you for saying my first name very well. It's rare.

Stu

(01:32)

Oh, well, Bronwyn is a very popular name in Australia.

Bronwyn

(01:36)

I know. You have a nickname. You guys call me Bronny.

Stu

(01:39)

Bronny.

Bronwyn

(01:40)

I love it.

Stu

(01:40)

Exactly right. I think I know probably four people called Bronwyn.

Bronwyn

(01:45)

Yeah, it's crazy.

Stu

(01:47)

I was more concerned with your surname, so I don't think that I was too far off the track. I've listened to a few podcasts.

Bronwyn

(01:55)

No, I didn't notice anything.

Stu

(01:59)

Well, look, thank you so much again for your time, but first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Bronwyn

(02:09)

Yeah, so I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. I came about becoming a therapist, I have an interesting journey that is comical, I guess. So I came to become a therapist later in life because I myself really, really, really needed a good therapist because I fell into a pit of depression where I was barely functioning and I was getting physically ill. So I sought out a therapist and as dysfunctional as I was and as hard as my life was, I thought to myself, I know even right now I could do a better job than she's doing to me. And then I found other therapists and I felt that way with all of them. So I thought I'm going to go back to school and get a second master's degree and become a therapist, and that was part of my healing journey, actually.
