What is Secondary Bullying?
Bullying is a complex dynamic. There is the person engaging in the primary bullying- and sometimes there are others, though not the instigators, that go along with the actions of the bully either actively or passively. Ignoring, unfriending, or listening to toxic gossip and accusations are implicitly giving the bully the green light to keep on victimizing the victim.
Adult Bullying Part 3
I posted in stores a couple of days ago asking what people would like to be addressed with adult bullying. The number one response was “how to deal with bullying at...” Job, social media, families.
So I created a little highlight sheet of things to think about in these different situations. They are not all inclusive by any means - I’d love to hear what you would add.
Adult Bullying Part 2
Many of us give other people a lot of power- too much power- over our mood and choices. It’s something I see all the time in my work, as well as in my personal life. How so many of us allow someone else’s grumpy mood, poor choices, baseless assumptions, amongst other things, take hold and impact how we feel- sometimes even shaking our confidence at a core level.
