Beyond the Playground: Bullying in Our Adult Lives

As children, many of us may have experienced bullying, talked about bullying in school, or were reminded about the importance of compassion and speaking up. But bullying in adulthood exists, too! Bullying, or mistreatment, can go beyond the playground: and it still hurts. This episode shows how you can navigate bullying in adulthood by identifying forms of bullying in different environments, learning bullying prevention techniques, and practicing empathy. Bullying hurts, but we are not alone. Join licensed therapist Vanessa de Jesus Guzman in fighting the stigma against bullying, and finding ways to spread love, joy, and kindness.  Send us Fan MailSupport the showGRAB AN OFFER🎁 Free Resource: 120 Coping Skills: https://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskills💛 Coaching for the Mom CEO: https://www.amigamoms.com💡 Coaching for Child Therapists: https://www.thekidclinician.com/💚 Coaching & Community for Latinx Therapists: https://www.latinxpracticecollective.com/ABOUT MEI'm Vanessa, the therapist who helps high-achieving adults become the best version of themselves, not just at work, but in the rooms that matter most.
