Topic:
Bullying is a dark behavior we hear a lot about during school. Sadly, it doesn’t end as we get older. Seniors are often victims and can, at times, be bullies themselves. The emotional stew of frustration, guilt and private feelings of inadequacy that surround caregiving can fuel surprising nastiness. Bev will help us take a look at practical strategies for self-care and remind us why self-compassion is a necessary first step toward breaking a cycle of bullying.
