Podcasts about bullied brain heal your scars

In today's episode of The Coaching Podcast, we talk about the transformative work of Jennifer Fraser, an award-winning educator and best-selling author of The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Jennifer's unique approach focuses on shifting from outdated bullying models to brain-informed frameworks, reshaping how we understand and address bullying in both sporting and organizational settings. Join us as we explore her insights on neuroscience, the impact of bullying on brain development, and practical strategies for coaches to foster resilience and positive growth. Here are the summary points; 1.06: French toast or pancakes? 1.19: Where did your study of Neuro-science begin? 5.59: Is it a good thing that we have labels to call out bullying behavior? Bullying is a deficit in the brain 9.25: Is bullying present in our schools in the workplace today? YES! "Bullying is not designed to help someone fulfill their potential." Watch out for these things that can destroy your brain and your health: Favoritism - these are the defenders of the bully Fear - empowering the abuser Humiliation 14.34: What did you discover about the brain? Up to 12/13 years - the brain is very resilient 13 - 24 years (when the children look like adults) - their brains are not fully developed and they are incredibly vulnerable to bullying The brain becomes reward-seeking, risk-taking, highly impulsive, and emotional! Their peers are the new tribe! Neurological scars exit from bullying in the brain (hard to physically "see" the abuse). 19.35: What can coaches do to help re-wire the brain to help young people be more resilient and make better choices? At the base of the brain needs: Connection Safety - allow the athlete to make mistakes Empathy - you can grow talent through empathy (the "talent whisper") Tom Brady has an amazing working memory! 25.00: Tom Brady does daily brain training: www.brainHQ.com 29.41: What makes a great coach? Knowledge Empathy Care 31.32: "Neural networks that fire together, wire together!" 32.24: Two practical tips to enhance your brain and avoid negative thinking: 1) Do aerobic fitness with other people 2) Mindfulness 35.35: Resilience Fatigue - what's going on in the brain? Psychiatry and psychology - tend to focus on the past (a trauma ) so that we can understand it and move forward. Mindfulness - focuses on being in the present moment. Neuroscience - is all about the future! What is it that I want in the future? Because neuro-plasticity means we can change our brains 38.19: Disruptive coaching idea that will change the way we coach in 2030? We have to look at our brains the same way that we look at knees, shoulders, etc. The brain is wired to repair and recover.

When she put bullying/abuse and neuroscience into the arena for her fourth book, she was shocked. As an award-winning educator of over 20 years, Jennifer feels strongly that all teachers, parents, coaches, and business leaders need to know what hurts brains and what empowers them. Her 2022 book, "The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health" is described by one of the world's most highly-awarded neuroscientists, Dr. Michael Merzenich as "THE most completely scientifically thorough treatment of the subject on planet earth." Jennifer has a new book forthcoming in the fall of 2025: "Shattered Brains: How Gaslighting Impacts the Mind & Proven Ways to Stay Safe & Sane."

The science tells us they're outdated. It's not going to get you the bottom line. It's not going to create greatness.” “Bullying is demeaning. It's designed to isolate. It's designed to humiliate; it's designed to make the person shamed so they no longer belong.” “We can change our brains, and if we can change our brains, then we can make really good choices.” “You don't learn by doing it right; you only learn by doing it wrong.” “We are easily led to believe certain things. But we have the superpower of a growth mindset, the ability to hold two things at once.” “Trust but verify.” BOOK MENTIONED: Mindset by Carol Dweck (https://a.co/d/5paTKwD) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://thebulliedbrain.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-fraser-phd-1466a417/ https://www.facebook.com/BulliedBrain/ https://twitter.com/bulliedbrain https://www.instagram.com/bulliedbrain https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/jennifer-fraser-phd https://a.co/d/9tlNs5l https://a.co/d/31mjnEc CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com     Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

This is the first episode of a joint venture between Jennifer Fraser and myself. Jennifer Fraser is the author of The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. She has a PhD in Comparative Literature and The Bullied Brain is her fourth book. She draws on medical, neuroscientific, and neurobiological research to examine what happens to brains that are bullied and abused. Jennifer's an award-winning educator and works as a coach, consultant, and international presenter.  The podcast is a dialogue that works in the first season like a coaching session. Eric shares his childhood experiences of being abused and Jennifer discusses the implications for my brain and for recovery. Our goal is to use Eric's childhood abuse as a case study as most people don't learn about their brains or about how abuse impacts their brains. The research is clear that the brain is innately wired to repair and recover when we know the harm was done and the evidence-based practices to heal. This is the focus of Jennifer's book, but it comes to life in the podcast as Eric bravely walks us through the abuse done to him and his many strategies for healing his neurological scars. For all those who have suffered bullying, abuse, and trauma, join us to look at it through the lens of brain science and learn ways to repair the harm done.  New episodes will be released every other week, starting on 7 June.

While there are some stronger and broader laws in particular states, there is currently no federal standard defining, let alone outlawing, workplace bullying if the case does not involve harassment or discrimination of a member of a “protected status group” based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. And yet, according to a 2021 survey commissioned by the Workplace Bullying Institute, 30% of adult Americans say they are currently being bullied or have experienced bullying at work, and that number jumps up to 39% for the currently employed Americans who were surveyed. That's not a small, insignificant problem. That's a lot of the working population. And the results also show that instances of bullying have actually increased in recent years with the expansion of remote work. But advocates are pushing legislators in different states to strengthen laws to protect workers from bullying in the workplace, and there are signs of hope concerning a bill in Oregon that would do just that. In this mini-cast, we speak with Misty Orlando, who has been the primary grassroots lobbyist for the bill, as well as Dr. Jennifer Frazer, author of The Bullied Brain, and Jerry Carbo, president of the National Workplace Bullying Coalition and professor of management at the Grove College of Business at Shippensburg University.

I've been hearing from so many of you who have kids who are being bullied or have been bullied, and they are really struggling. I've also heard from many of you whose kid is the bully and acting out in abusive ways towards others.Well, this is a fascinating episode that you want to listen to.My special guest is Dr. Jennifer Fraser, who is the founder of The Bullied Brain (www.bulliedbrain.com). She is an award-winning teacher of 20 years, an international presenter, and a published author.  Dr. Fraser is here today to talk about her latest book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. In this episode, Dr. Fraser explains what we need to understand about how all forms of bullying and abuse affect our tween's and teens' brains and how to help both the bullied and the bully heal.So much of what she shares is extremely helpful in explaining tweens' and teens' behavior, such as grades falling, trouble with problem-solving, wanting to play video games 24/7, anxiety, and skipping school. If we want to support our kids to heal, we need to understand the way the brain works."It appears that our bullying epidemic is not cured by blaming, shaming, and ostracizing. It is time for a revolution in how we think about and how we educate ourselves and children about bullying. It needs to be seen as a medical, not a moral problem, especially in childhood. It needs to be instantly identified. The perpetrator needs to be held accountable. Healing needs to begin."So on that note, let's dive in! What you will learn:What verbal abuse does to our children's brains?What happens to the brain when a child is bullied?Why do kids abuse or bully other kids?Why bullying is more than a moral issue – it's a medical issue.Why the way society deals with abuse is outdated, and what should we be doing instead?What are some things parents can do when their child is being bullied?Why it's so easy for kids (and adults) to partake in cyberbullying.  And what this does to our empathy for each other.What happens to a child's brain when a parent gives them the silent treatment?Links from the episode:Website: Check out our Moms of Tweens and Teens website HERESign up for our Moms of Tweens and Teens newsletter HERE Find more encouragement, wisdom, and resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/momsoftweensandteens/ Join our Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Momsoftweensandteens Find awesome resources on MOTTs University: https://www.mottsuniversity.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momsoftweensandteens/ Sheryl also has an Inner Circle weekly Parenting Program with a community of like-minded moms, personal coaching, and tons of resources to equip and support you to love well, navigate the challenges and meet your tween and teen's unique needs during these pivotal years.

How do you feel on your way to work? Today on Conflict Managed, we are joined by Jonathan Wilson. Jonathan has over 28 years' experience working for the Metropolitan Police (United Kingdom) with much of that time in senior leadership roles.  Jonathan's police leadership required him to work with diverse communities, businesses, local authorities, across a number of government departments including the Home Office and Mayor of London's office and internationally.  He has considerable experience in prevention strategies, legislative changes, working with vulnerable groups, and partnership work. During his police career Jonathan obtained a law degree at the University of Westminster Law School and an Economics with Cultural Studies degree at the School of African and Asian Studies, University of Sussex. Jonathan recently retired from the Police Service in 2020 after a traumatic experience of workplace bullying, a period of his life that impacted on him considerably. He now dedicates much of his time to education and challenging workplace bullying behaviors which he says is entirely preventable and creating positive workplace culture. Jonathan now talks widely across social media and to businesses in person about psychosocial safety at work. He says, “Psychosocial safety is a leadership issue, and how you interact with people impacts their whole lives. It is therefore the most pressing issue of the contemporary workplace to master. Teaching your leaders interpersonal communications skills that empower not diminish. At the heart of bullying is always complex human dynamics and often unethical behaviours, corruption, discrimination, and harassment will emerge as the reason. Look deeper.” Jonathan lives in Cornwall and has also established a business running holiday cottages which allows him to pursue the many outdoor activities he enjoys both on and off the water.

Questions I asked: Can you tell us your story of abuse? Did you tell anyone about your abuse? Can you share your camping trip experience? Why do we feel shame? How did you deal with your son's bullying in school? How can you help your child deal with bullying? Can we see bullying's effect on brain screenings? How does dealing with bullying daily effect your body? How can a wife deal with a husband who yells at her? Can you tell us about the brain science behind bullying's effects? If someone is being bullied right now, what can they do? What can a victim due in the situation where the abuse is covert? What have you done to heal post abuse? How does trauma inhibit performance? Can you tell us about your new book? Topics Discussed: Sexual abuse. Bullying in school. Power dynamics. Writing a book. After effects of abuse. Healing. Social predator. Quotes from the show: “Children don't have the language to know the feeling of violated.” @bulliedbrain @SisterhoodSweat “The brain makes you feel shame to protect you.” @bulliedbrain @SisterhoodSweat “If someone is holding your life in their hands, it's easier to be a victim.” @bulliedbrain @SisterhoodSweat “It's hammered into kids, that a teacher has the value to tell you what you're worth.” @bulliedbrain @SisterhoodSweat “I've been trying to put myself back together for the last 40 years.” @bulliedbrain @SisterhoodSweat   How you can stay in touch with Jennifer: Website Twitter Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Get her books   How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud   "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T" Essential Formulas

Jennifer earned her PhD from University of Toronto in Comparative Literature and is the Founder of The Bullied Brain. Her third book Teaching Bullies takes lived experience with an abuse crisis and puts it into the context of psychology, psychiatry, education, law, and neuroscience. What's being discovered in neuroscientific labs across the world has the power to change how we understand our brains and lives. This empowering research infuses her latest book The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Neuroscientist Dr. Michael Merzenich says it is "scientifically the most thorough treatment of the subject on planet earth."

This week on the podcast we take a deep dive into what exactly is abusive coaching and how parents and coaches can take steps to stop it. To do so we gathered three experts in the field of bullying and coaching abuse to join John and Jerry for a fascinating discussion.  Dr. Amy Saltzman a holistic physician, mindfulness coach, long-time athlete, and a member of the US Soccer Participant Safety Taskforce. She's had the privilege of being recognized by her peers as a visionary and pioneer in the fields of holistic medicine and mindfulness for athletes, coaches, and other high performers, kids, teens, parents, teachers, therapists, and allied professionals. We had her on episode 77 talking about her book A Still Quiet Place for Athletes and now her new organization is Spot a Spider, which teaches children, teens, and young adults how to protect themselves and others from all types of abuse: sneaky (covert) emotional abuse (also known as grooming), and obvious (overt) emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Check it out at www.spotaspider.com.  Jennifer Fraser is the Founder of www.TheBulliedBrain.com.  Jennifer earned her PhD from University of Toronto in Comparative Literature. Be A Good Soldier: Children's Grief in Modernist English Novels looks at pedagogical beliefs about children and the ways in which they fuel aggression and war. Her third book Teaching Bullies takes lived experience with an abuse crisis and puts it into the context of psychology, psychiatry, education, law, and neuroscience. What's being discovered in neuroscientific labs across the world has the power to change how we understand our brains and lives.

In this episode of the Beauty of Conflict, Susan and CrisMarie are joined by Jennifer Fraser to talk about the importance of taking action against bullying and how to repair the harm done to bullied and abused brains. These are also topics she covers in her latest book: The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. While working at a private school, a case of bullying where teachers had become bullies themselves came to her knowledge, creating a toxic environment for students. Jennifer went through an extensive process to handle the situation only for the whole matter to be covered up. This began her journey of research and action against bullying and in defense of embracing brain health. Tune in to this episode to learn about why focusing on brain health is key to dealing with bullies and those affected by them!

Mark speaks with Jennifer Fraser, best-selling author, award-winning educator with a PhD in Comparative Literature. Through personal experience and extensive research, Jennifer uncovered how bullying affects the brain and how the brain can heal, which she details in her new book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Today, Commander Divine speaks with Jennifer Fraser, best-selling author, award-winning educator with a PhD in Comparative Literature. In the episode, Jennifer shares how bullying affects the brain and how the brain can heal—detailed in her newest book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Key Takeaways: The brain science of abuse. A bullied brain is an unhealthy brain, displaying neurological changes whether the bullying is physical or emotional. We can analyze this on brain scans, brain mapping technology, and correlate it to psychological manifestations in the brain. The psychology of bullying: the Victim and the Favored. Jennifer shares the psychology of the bully stories such as Larry Nassar, which feature bully normalization, co-opting parents into being complicit, and the extensive damage caused in athlete victims AND those witnessing the abuse. Child abuse is indicative of later chronic illness. Child abuse comes in many forms (emotional, physical abuse and sexual, emotional, and physical neglect). Jennifer shares insights from Rolland Summit and Alice Miller’s work that discovered child abuse of all forms accounts for half of the main indicators of later midlife chronic illness. Astounding! You can train your brain out of abuse, like Tom Brady. He’s one of the first premier athletes to publicly share that he trains his brain as much as he trains his body, leveraging a platform called Brain HQ. As one of the best quarterbacks in history, it’s fair to say Tom knows a thing or two about being elite, with compassion and courage. There are solutions, and Brain HQ is one of many.

Jennifer Fraser is the founder of The Bullied Brain. She's an award-winning teacher, best-selling author, and unlikely whistle-blower. And key in mental health awareness. Her new book The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health tells the story of her journey to repair after battling to protect students from teacher abuse and failing.  With a PhD in Comparative Literature, she believed that there must be research that could help her recover.  That's when she discovered what scientists know about the amazing powers, we have within to repair our hurt brains. And to contribute to suicide prevention. Some key points from our interview: ·        How she feels that we are never unbroken as our brains are never unbreakable·        How she discovered her son was a victim of bullying and abuse, including emotional abuse from teachers at his school when she took the testimonies of 8 other students who had also been bullied·        How she discovered that the school had known about this for a year and failed to protect their students·        How she decided to do the research into the neuroscience of being bullied and wrote her book to show the impact of bullying on the brain but also how it can be healed too·        How her own trauma of being emotionally, physically, and sexually abused by 3 teachers was triggered by her son's trauma·        How she went to the police to report her own abuse to stop covering up and to honour a student “Ellen” who tragically died by suicide after being abused by a head teacher that was covered up by the school·        How we all have the power to convert our mind bully to our own empathic coach in order to rewire our brain"Unbroken: Healing Through Storytelling" features  individuals who have all triumphed after adversity and have not just bounced back in life, but forward and are now making a difference for others.Hosted by Madeleine Black, the show will share stories of all the amazing people Madeleine has met on her own journey as an author/speaker and these stories will heal, motivate, inspire and bring hope when they share their wisdom and knowledge with her.She really believes in the power that comes when we share our stories, that in fact we are not story tellers but story healers. Tune in to discover what helped them to stay unbroken and together we will discover that none of us are broken beyond repair.You can find out more about Madeleine, her story and her memoir, Unbroken,  from her website: https://madeleineblack.co.uk/You can listen to the full extended series of incredible stories on https://podfollow.com/unbroken-healing-through-storytelling

Bullying is a huge issue for kids today, and as we go back to school, many children are dreading having to face that challenge every day. This week's guest, Jennifer Fraser, PhD, is author of the powerful new book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Jennifer is an award-winning educator whose online courses and workshops teach the impact of neuroscience on personal development and culture change. In her latest book, she breaks down how bullying affects our brains and, more importantly, she tells us how to help our brains heal from that trauma. In this episode, you'll learn: What happens to our brains when they are being bullied. How society has normalized bullying from adults — and why it's so important to stop that cycle. Steps to take to address bullying in schools and the workplace.

JENNIFER FRASER, PHD'S NEW BOOK IS TITLED THE BULLIED BRAIN GARTH THOMASJUNE 10, 2022 BOOKS & MAGAZINESNEWSREVIEWS Jennifer Fraser, PhD's new book is titled The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Like any good piece of nonfiction, the title encapsulates the entirety of the read's topicality – much like a position paper. “Neuroscientists study the way in which pain is designed to alert you to harm being done to both brain and body. Pain circuits in your brain get activated by a broken bone, but they also activate if you're excluded from a social gathering or a meeting at work,” Fraser writes. “…The epidemic of abuse, neglect, and trauma has led to an epidemic of hurt brains. Abuse creates a cycle whereby the abuse victim's damaged brain becomes abusive either to self or others. In the past, we could excuse normalizing this cycle of brain damage because we could not see the harm done to the brain by abuse. However, now that we can see the neurological scars on the brain with technological innovation, it's time to act. It's time to heal and restore our health. Every single individual who heals the trauma to their brain has a lower chance of suffering life-threatening health consequences—and has a lower chance of infecting and harming others.” It's through this kind of plainspoken, appropriate bedside manner Fraser is able to make the articulations, unpacking, and arguments feel as viscerally cutting-edge as they are intellectually stimulating and enlightening. You never feel there is any beating around the bush here. Dr. Fraser is clearly passionate about the material as well, personally as well as professionally. In the book's introduction, she writes a painfully revealing passage about her thoughts regarding the topicality's relevance to her son. The fact she's willing to put something as precious as that on the line immediately makes you feel a sense of trust in her as a reader, rather than something used as a parlor trick making up for gaps in logic. Everything here is meticulously presented and covered, the added emotional whallup only driving home the former with an increased sense of urgency.

Jennifer Fraser followed her spirit and dove into a topic many people don't talk about Adult Bullying. Her new book: The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Enjoy the show!

Today my guest is JenniferFraser, best-selling author and award-winning educator. Her online courses and workshops provide dynamic lessons in the impact neuroscience has on personal development and culture change. Her previous book, Teaching Bullies: Zero Tolerance on the Court or in the Classroom, explores what happens when the bully is a teacher or coach. Her new book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health, delves into how bullying affects the brain and how the brain can heal. Learn more at bulliedbrain.comI've been glued to this book which is rich with information about bully culture, the damage it causes our brains, and what we can do about it. It's a sad reality that our culture is so seeped in bullying and abuse — from children's playgrounds to the upper echelons of leadership — that we've come to normalize the behavior and overlook the wreckage. This bullying paradigm has parents, teachers and coaches believing they must be tough to the point of emotional abuse in order for children to acquire the grit and resilience needed to attain excellence in a competitive world. The research shows however that the bullied brain correlates with failure to perform, substance abuse, aggressive behavior, chronic disease and mental illness.Some of the topics we get into are the bullying paradigm, toxic masculinity vs. toxic stress, the "invisible" brain damage cause by bullying and toxic stress, open vs. fixed mindsets, building resilience, and in honor of Juneteenth I share some personal thoughts on how slavery was an extreme form of bullying and how we should consider what we've learned from Jennifer when understanding how to heal from it's legacy.Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston.Our show music is from Shana Falana !!!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFY | STITCHERITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCASTITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/she-wants/i-want-what-she-has?refid=stpr'Follow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcastTWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas

A science-informed approach, The Bullied Brain is meant to be a useful and practical guide for coaches, teachers and parents. You can find out more at bulliedbrain.com.

Why do we say we have zero tolerance for bullying, but adult society is rife with it and it is an epidemic among children? Because the injuries that all forms of bullying and abuse do to brains are invisible. We ignore them, fail to heal them, and they become cyclical and systemic. In today's guest, Jennifer Fraser's book The Bullied Brain, readers learn about the evidence doctors, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and neuroscientists have gathered, that shows the harm done by bullying and abuse to your brain, and how you can be empowered to protect yourself and all others. Jennifer Fraser  earned her PhD from University of Toronto in Comparative Literature. Her first book Rite of Passage in the Narratives of Dante and Joyce explores the way in which individuals transform from readers to writers of culture. Her second book Be A Good Soldier: Children's Grief in Modernist English Novels looks at pedagogical beliefs about children and the ways in which they fuel aggression and war. She has written three plays that focus on contemporary suffering: Distortion, Aristotle's Poetics, and Wakeful Sleeper. They're with the Playwright's Guild of Canada. Her third book Teaching Bullies takes lived experience with an abuse crisis and puts it into the context of psychology, psychiatry, education, law, and neuroscience. What's being discovered in neuroscientific labs across the world has the power to change how we understand our brains and lives. This empowering research infuses her latest book The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. She also writes thrillers. For fun, check out Crush (a wine thriller) and Royal Dispatch which is about Queen Elizabeth II's dangerous trip to Canada in the 1950s (yes, it's fiction).
