Healing from Abuse by Mean Bosses

This was really helpful to me - thank you!

Let me see if I understand this correctly? You're advice for healing from abuse by a mean boss is explaining to me how I can avoid it? Gee, if only I'd thought to do that to begin with?! Shoot, to think I could have avoided all the PTSD, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Man, Nobel prize to you guys.

Thank you for this!

Healing from abuse by an abusive boss would be a better title. Yes an abusive person is mean, but it often goes so far beyond that and if it’s an adult abuser engaged in abuse, let’s call it what it is.

Quit the job. It sucks to feel pushed out, but if you are looking up videos on how to heal from a boss or toxic culture, it is time to seriously plan and execute your exit strategy. YOU DO NOT DESERVE ABUSE. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You more than likely work for a narcissist and they can not change.

I had a really bad boss and I did focus more on outside activities but I struggled to find motivation at work. I love my job and I want to be the employee i was before but I’m struggling to find that passion anymore.

Thank you I needed this!

After taking divorce from an abusive marriage, I threw myself into work. My profession became my identity.
