Anyone who is being brutalized at work needs strategies for recoverying and preventing further recurrences.
At the risk of "overpublicizing" (because I've made this announcement in the General Discussion, and Shame Forums)--- Please track down the book written by Judith Wyatt and Chauncey Hare entitled _Work Abuse: How to Recognize and Survive It_ Hopefully it will be at a library near you. It's published by Schenkman Books, Rochester Vt.
Anyone working in a fear or shame based organization--- that is most corporations, or agencies---must read this book in order to recover some sense of personal power.
Thanks for the opportunity to tell you about this book.
