Bullying may be defined as a persistent, deliberate attempt to hurt or humiliate someone.

The term ‘bullying’ is sometimes misunderstood; while isolated incidents can be serious and require attention, bullying is defined by its persistent nature. The following information is intended for individuals who have experienced bullying. However, individuals who engage in bullying behavior may also benefit from therapy to address underlying issues and the motivation to bully others. Those who have been reasonably accused of bullying are encouraged to seek therapeutic support at the Natural Healing Clinic.

Is your child or teenager experiencing bullying?
Is Time To Get Help
If you suspect your child i
s being bullied, initiate a conversation to assess their experiences at school, during extracurricular activities, and in other social settings. Inquire whether they maintain positive relationships with peers, both in person and online. Consult with teachers and school staff if concerns persist. While school authorities can intervene to address bullying, psychological effects may persist long after the incidents. If your child exhibits signs of emotional distress related to bullying, it is important to seek professional support. Contact us today.

Counseling and Help For Adult.
This issue extends beyond children, as adults may also engage in or become victims of bullying in the workplace, relationships, and families. In British Columbia, workplace bullying, harassment, and discrimination are prohibited by law. While these legal protections are intended to reduce bullying and promote psychological well-being in professional settings, harm may already have occurred before such behaviors are recognized and addressed.
Adults who experience bullying often exhibit symptoms similar to those observed in children, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, diminished work performance, social withdrawal, and misplaced aggression.
Therapeutic intervention can assist adults in addressing the psychological trauma associated with bullying.
