Are you a survivor of bullying?
Right now, you may be experiencing:
- Lingering feelings of shame, humiliation, or inadequacy stemming from past bullying experiences (childhood, adolescence, or adulthood)
- Low self-esteem or a negative self-image shaped by the hurtful words or actions of bullies
- Social anxiety, fear of judgment, or difficulty trusting peers or authority figures
- Hypervigilance in social situations, anticipating criticism or rejection
- Intrusive memories or emotional flashbacks related to specific bullying incidents
- Difficulty asserting yourself or setting boundaries due to past experiences of powerlessness
- Symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD related to the bullying

- It holds you back from forming close relationships or fully participating in social activities
- Your confidence is undermined, impacting your performance at work, school, or in pursuing personal goals
- You continue to struggle with self-criticism or believing the negative messages internalized from bullies
- You avoid conflict or confrontation, even when necessary, due to fear of reprisal or humiliation
- The emotional wounds from bullying haven’t fully healed, continuing to cause pain in the present
