Childhood bullying leaves indelible marks on the psyche. Victims carry emotional bruises that can last a lifetime. Low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and a sense of isolation become unwelcome companions. The playground taunts, cyberbullying, or relentless teasing can shape a person’s self-image. As adults, these scars may still ache, affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being. Therapy provides a safe space to unravel these wounds, to acknowledge the pain, and to rewrite the narrative. It’s a chance to heal from the inside out, to reclaim self-worth, and to build resilience.
Adult bullying wears different disguises—subtle yet insidious. Workplace mistreatment, oppressive relationships, or emotional manipulation can erode self-confidence. We may not even recognise it as bullying; instead, we label it as “stress” or “anxiety.” But beneath the surface, the wounds fester. Therapy unveils these hidden battles. It empowers us to reclaim control, to recognize our value beyond the hurtful words or actions. In therapy, we learn coping strategies, assertiveness, and boundary-setting. We shed the cloak of victimhood and step into our strength.
Therapy isn’t a magic wand, but it’s a compass pointing toward healing, offering tools to dismantle the walls built by bullying. Victims learn to challenge negative thought patterns, to express their pain, and to find resilience. Bullies, too, can benefit from therapy—exploring the roots of their behaviour, learning empathy, and breaking the cycle. Healing is possible, even when the scars seem permanent. Therapy reminds us that we deserve a life free from the shadows of bullying—a life where self-compassion and growth flourish.
