Thought bullies would disappear after high school? Turns out, those people grow older, but don’t always grow up. Now they’re the ones causing trouble at work, in social circles, and even at events. Unfortunately, bullying in adulthood is far more common than many of us realise. In this episode of But Are You Happy, clinical psychologist Dr Anastasia Hronis and co-host Ashani Dante break down why adult bullying happens and share practical strategies for dealing with it. You’ll also learn: - Why people bully, and who tends to be their targets
- How people who are being bullied are impacted
- What the bystander effect is
- How to reclaim your voice after experiencing bullying
