Why the Wall of Denial Persists

In this episode, Michael sits down with therapist Bronwyn to explore the powerful connection between unprocessed anger, childhood trauma, and emotional well-being. They discuss how "dissociated anger" often manifests as physical ailments and mental health struggles, shedding light on society’s gendered approach to emotions and its impact on our relationship with anger. Bronwyn shares her personal journey of releasing shame and reconnecting with her authentic self through inner child work, offering practical techniques to break free from emotional burdens that may have been holding you back for decades.

This thought-provoking conversation also dives into the deep-rooted effects of shame, self-contempt, and the struggle to break away from toxic parental influences. Bronwyn reveals how reclaiming her rightful emotions led to healing decades of insomnia, while Michael shares how confronting his trauma story eliminated panic attacks. Together, they discuss the importance of boundaries, righteous anger, and the courage to trust yourself. If you're navigating childhood trauma, emotional numbness, or the cycle of seeking parental approval, this episode is a must-listen on the path to becoming "unbroken."
