Relinquishing the Role of Scapegoat

About this episode

Bronwyn and Erin discuss the journey of relinquishing the scapegoat role in relationships and the associated themes of shame and dignity.

In this raw and informative conversation between Bronwyn and the host of ThERINpy podcast, Erin Washington, we help Erin reclaim her dignity by relinquishing the role of scapegoat she played in her marriage. We also discuss shame, parenting, triggers and of course, anger. Erin represents many women who are kind but naive to how they've served as a scapegoat for those around them, and Erin's journey is both inspirational and empowering, as she learns how to respond in a dignified but truthful way by being a "mirror."
