Bullying isn’t just “kids being kids”—it can leave deep, lasting scars on mental health.
In this episode, host, Mel Histon, and special guest, Charlotte Thaarup, explore the often-overlooked connection between bullying and anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma. They dive into how persistent bullying can affect the brain and central nervous system, influence self-perception, and shape a sense of safety that can last into adulthood.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or someone reflecting on your own experiences, this conversation sheds light on how bullying impacts long-term mental well-being—and what can be done to support healing.
