Dr. Chloe Carmichael Talks Today to NoBullying.com about Adult Bullying
London, UK (PRWEB) October 15, 2013 -- Dr. Chloe Carmichael, with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University, talks to NoBullying.com today about Adult Bullying.
Her work focuses on stress management, relationship issues, self esteem, and coaching.
When asked about bullying, she commented that, “The advent of social media has emboldened bullies, and given them more clout. Moreover, the permanent record of the internet makes the wounds more enduring.”
When it comes to Cyber Bullying, Dr Chloe said, “Bullying can now occur even when two people aren’t in the same room. This means that a child being bullied can’t even breathe a sigh of relief after the school day ends. The evening hours, which may have been a respite in the past, can now be filled with new text messages and online postings that continue the bullying around the clock.”
As for Adult Bullying, she mentions workplace bullying. “Office environments can sometimes engender hostility or power struggles that set the stage for bullying. This can be particularly true if several people form a clique and then single out a target to bully.”
Dr Chloe mentions long term effects of bullying that she sees even while working with adults. “If someone gets the idea at an early age that the world is a cruel place, they don’t fit in, or they can’t trust others, then self esteem dips while anxiety rises. This in turn has consequences on the types of goals that a person might set or believe they could reach.”
Macartan Mulligan, Co-Founder of NoBullying.com, said, “We are thrilled about the vast array of experts in the field willing to share their knowledge and experience with us to combat bullying.” He added, “This Movement against Bullying needs to gain more momentum and that only happens with sharing knowledge and experience and truly empowering children to stand up for their safety online and everywhere.”
Mulligan encourages experts from all over the world to join the Movement against Bullying by contributing to NoBullying.com via media(at)nobullying(dot)com.
He added that parents and teachers should make a point to educate the younger generations about the sad outcome of bullying online and off line.
