Bullied by Your Own Family? The Psychology of Power & Control

Описание: Bullying doesn’t only happen at school. It can happen inside toxic family systems through humiliation, dominance, scapegoating, and emotional control.

In this live discussion, we break down what family bullying really looks like — and why it’s often minimized, denied, or disguised as “just how we are.”

In this live chat we’ll explore:

• Subtle and chronic bullying behaviors in toxic families
• How dominance hierarchies form in dysfunctional family systems
• The psychology behind scapegoating and humiliation
• Why “jokes” are often emotional control tactics
• The long-term impact on adult children
• What happens when the targeted family member speaks up

This is not about diagnosing anyone — it’s about understanding patterns.

If you’ve ever felt emotionally dominated, mocked, or minimized in your own family, this conversation is for you.
