How to Cope with Workplace Bullying

It can be incredibly difficult to manage bullying in the workplace. You may need to interact with the bully regularly and it may be a peer or a superior. Knowing that you will face harassment and negative interactions daily at work can cause incredible anxiety and stress, including anxiety attacks, depression spirals, and more.

Workplace therapists can help you find ways to diffuse situations and avoid problems.
