The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars
and Restore Your Health
Jennifer Fraser Ph.D
"The Father of Neuroplasticity" - highly awarded neuroscientist - Dr. Michael Merzenich states The Bullied Brain "is scientifically the most thorough treatment of the subject on planet earth."
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.
Bullying and abuse are at the source of much misery in our lives. Because we are not taught about our brains, let alone how much they are impacted by bullying and abuse, we do not have a way to avoid this misery, heal our scars, or restore our health. In 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. Not only is it critically important to discover how much your mental health is contingent on what has sculpted and shaped the world inside your head, it is also the first step in learning ways to recover.
While your brain is vulnerable to bullying and abuse, it is at the same time remarkably adept at repairing all kinds of traumas and injuries. The first part of The Bullied Brain outlines what the research shows bullying and abuse do to your brain. The second part of the book, "The Stronger Brain" provides case studies of adults and children who have undergone focused training to heal their neurological scars and restore their health. These accessible and practical lessons can be integrated into your life. Strengthening your brain acts as an effective antidote to the bullying and abuse that are rampant in society.
Foreword by Dr. Michael Merzenich, "the father of neuroplasticity," who also contributes his knowledge, insights, and research in The Bullied Brain to help show you how to empower your brain to fulfill its power and potential.
"As a seasoned counselor and educator with over 23 years of experience working with children and adults, I am forever changed as a result of this book. Dr. Fraser’s in-depth and revolutionary approach to Bullying advances the reader’s solution focus and/or prevention approach, exponentially. The tools and insights gained will have long lasting effects on the populations I serve. Thank you Dr. Fraser for transforming your pain into this seminal instrument for us all to apply and positively impact the lives we serve." (Dr. Maria Martinez-Salazar Educator, Therapist, and Qualified Supervisor MHC in Miami, Florida)
