In our first blog for this month I listed all of the National Awareness campaigns for the month of October, one of which is National Bully Prevention.

There is nothing more time consuming than relationships that are hurtful and harmful which brings up the issue of taking advantage of people with a need to please through emotional coercion.  These issues can become magnified at this time of year.

The good news is that we are seeing and increase in awareness about the subject bullying and victimization with Public Service Announcements –PSA’s –of famous people and wonderful organizations coming out AGAINST bullying these past several years.

It’s a good thing that we are addressing this issue and yet, we must be willing to learn how to understand the psychology of what’s really going on.  We must engage in learning an ever advancing skill set to be effective at diffusing bully behavior while empowering all parties involved to learn how to ask for what they want in a way that gets people more of what they want and less of what they don’t want.

First, let’s talk about being AGAINST something.  I’m a stickler for language and how it either inflames an already potentially volatile situation OR it soothes it. Being AGAINST is about a FIGHTING and WAR-ING mentality which means we are in fact, making people who use bully behavior to try to control their world,  i.e., THE ENEMY!

This is the very thing we must learn how to do differently in order to be able to feel the confidence one gets from owning their lives fully by making a daily decision not to succumb to a victim mindset no matter what.  I hope you enjoy the insights I bring to this subject in today’s Blog.
