Episode 005 - What can an individual do when you are being bullied at work?
In this concluding episode on the topic of workplace bullying, I share with you what an individual can do when being bullied at work. I touch on two coping strategies - emotion-focused and problem-focused. I will share with you another strategy based on the six processes from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This strategy focuses on psychological flexibility which helps bullied individuals to get unstuck from their residual psychological negative thoughts and emotions because of their workplace bullying experience.
