Anniversary Special: Navigating the Roots of Suppressed Emotions with Bronwyn Schweigerdt, LMFT – Episode 376

Anniversary Special: Navigating the Roots of Suppressed Emotions with Bronwyn Schweigerdt, LMFT – Episode 376

In celebration of our fifth anniversary, we’re re-releasing one of our favorite episodes from the past year. Anger isn't the enemy—it's a warning light, signaling that something deeper needs attention. When we validate and express it constructively, we unlock empathy, self-awareness, and stronger relationships. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Bronwyn Schweigerdt, LMFT—a licensed psychotherapist, public speaker, author, and host of “Angry at the Right Things”. Bronwyn is known for her evocative approach to therapy, helping clients externalize and process deeply buried emotions like anger and rage. She believes these intense feelings, when acknowledged and expressed, are key to overcoming mental health struggles such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis. By fostering a healthy relationship with anger, Bronwyn empowers individuals to set boundaries, build self-trust, and break free from dysfunctional patterns. Her work is rooted in the belief that sharing trauma with a compassionate listener transforms isolation into healing. We're thrilled to have her here to explore healthy anger management, the power of processing intense emotions, and practical strategies for creating a healthier relationship with anger.

Anniversary Special: Improvising Healing—Psychotherapy as Jazz, Not Jargon with Ross Ellenhorn – Episode 375

Anniversary Special: Improvising Healing—Psychotherapy as Jazz, Not Jargon with Ross Ellenhorn – Episode 375

We don’t need more treatment manuals—we need more musicians. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor is joined by Ross Ellenhorn, a pioneering voice in mental health and addiction recovery. As the founder and CEO of Ellenhorn—the nation's most comprehensive community integration program—Ross has spent his career helping individuals heal and thrive within their lives, not away from them. With a joint PhD in Social Welfare Policy and Sociology from Brandeis University, he’s a sought-after speaker, consultant, and advocate for reshaping behavioral health care. Ross’s work defies traditional paradigms, elevating collaboration, creativity, and authentic human connection as the true drivers of healing. Together, we explore the art of psychotherapy as an improvisational practice—fluid, relational, and deeply human. It’s a conversation about reframing resistance, restoring hope, and making space for people to recover in ways that honor their lived experience.

Ishan is a distinguished mental health researcher and professor specializing in non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive meditative modalities. As the Founder of Yoga of Immortals (also known as YOI) programs, Ishan has developed innovative wellness initiatives tailored to diverse demographics, including youth, professionals, athletes, and military personnel. Rooted in ancient yogic wisdom and healing sciences of India, YOI protocols encompass breathwork, yogic techniques, and cognitive stimulation to combat stress, burnout, and promote mental resilience. With scientifically proven results demonstrating significant improvements in anxiety, depression, and insomnia, Ishan's programs have impacted over a million participants worldwide and garnered integration into numerous governmental, healthcare, and corporate institutions. We’re excited to have Ishan with us today to discuss Yoga of Immortals, his resilience training programs and exploring this concept he called “restful alertness”.
