Episode 12 – Supporting a Loved One Through Depression with Bronte and Leigh Spicer

By Bronte Spicer | March 18, 2022

Bronte has a very special guest on the Podcast today, her husband and greatest supporter shares his perspective and reflections after being alongside as the primary support for Bronte and witnessing within the journey itself. Hearing the connection and rawness between husband and wife provides a wonderful insight into the roller coaster many of us experience. Listen as Bronte and Leigh talk about:

· When depressive symptoms are exacerbated, and your partner is foggy and far away.

· Parenting within depression and frustrations that arise.

· Coming off antidepressants, the attempts and how to prepare and how the Kiloby Inquiries has altered past experiences.

· Anxiety after depression, how that presents itself and the deeper connections that can result.

There is something very special about hearing the bond, hearing inside the journey and realising the connection and love between these two. This conversation gives a voice to the human perspectives and other side. Thank you so much for joining us for this conversation.

Bronte passionately teaches why and how to feel downright terrifying feelings. It set her free, after all. For 22 years, she thought she would live with depression forever. But it turned out, all she was missing was some vital somatic tools to feel safe in her body.

Bronte empowers individuals and teams of professionals to skillfully shift from being stuck in their head to safe in their body, comfortable in their skin and resourced from within to handle anything that life throws them.

A natural inspiration who is willing to share vulnerable stories, Bronte caters for the needs of both individuals and groups, as they learn to gently sit, feel and heal.

Bronte is a powerful healer, offering single KI and healing sessions, a deep guided 1:1 spiritual journey in the Diamond Mentorship and monthly Shamanic Immersions on djadjawurrung country. She is the author of It’s Okay to Cry: The Gentle Way to Dissolving Depression and award-winning writer for Elephant Journal. She is the host of her own podcast, ‘It’s Okay to Cry’, featuring the untold stories of individual somatic successes from people around the world.

Bronte has facilitated professional development wellbeing workshops and programs to companies, schools and organisations including Westpac, Spiritual Care Australia, Weeroona College and Spring Gully PS to improve wellbeing through feeling.

She holds a Bachelor of Education/Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation, Advanced Certificate in Guiding and Teaching Meditation and is certified as Reiki Level II Practitioner and Kiloby Inquiries Facilitator.

Bronte believes we need people to know how to feel, not feel better, but to feel the full spectrum of emotions we experience through life. Learning to feel brings connection, authentic expression, joy and purpose to lead fulfilling lives and requires skillful, compassionate somatic inquiry.
