Can we protect ourselves from aggression, either in our more intimate lives, or at workplace ? Bullying exist everywhere and not only with children. It can involve an aggressive superior, a manipulative friend or a romantic partner who uses "humiliation to get their way". In all situations, "it harms the person's sense of self, security and often lead to powerlessness and loss of control".

Remember that the aggression is not about you, it's about the person's need to dominate and even feel empowered. Somehow they are threatened by your strength, confidence or abilities. It's important to maintain an invisible shield to keep your composure and be as non reactive as possible.
