Breaking Down Cyberbullying
Episode description
If not me, who? If not now, then when? ... I asked myself after a week of being cyberbullied.
At what point of being bullied online do we draw the line and stand up and talk about how these negligible actions affect real people behind our screens ~
This thought soon afterward became the catalyst to this season of the Podcast with our new co-host Dr. Jessica Stanbridge, a qualified psychiatrist who specialises in womxn's mental health.
In EP.01 today, we discuss:
- what cyberbullying is and how it is different from traditional bullying.
- why it is so problematic and what the mental health implications are.
- How we can manage it if it has/had to happen to us
With people having access to us 24/7, it is so important to be firm in our boundaries and what you will and will not accept in your space online. Especially if its a place you spend a lot of time on because it has become a place we can not leave when going home, this space comes home with us.
You are allowed boundaries when it comes to your mental health.
