A good friend of mine is stuck in a relationship which makes her feel undermined, devalued and stupid. It’s not a work relationship, however helping her through this difficult time it reminded me that exactly the same thing is happening to so many people in the workplace.
Replace boyfriend, husband, partner with boss, colleague or even friends at work, and exactly the same psychological principles are in place.
This hit me hard, so I wanted to record and share with all of you the same points I made to my friend, in case it helps you.
Rather than extend the text on this post and your reading time, if you are in this a relationship where you feel powerless, find a quiet corner, or put your headphones on, and watch the video below.
Here are the resources referred to in the video:
