Getting My Voice Back - How To Deal With Adult Bullying

Mike discusses his 25 year friendship with an adult bully, and how it impacted his self confidence, self esteem, and personal relationships.    This episode is a must listen if you feel you're being bullied by a close friend, because it actually happens and can impact many areas of your life.   From Mike's desire to help others, to his spirituality, Mike's friend "Javier" would constantly take the opportunity whenever possible to insult him for the very qualities people loved about him.   Words weren't enough with Javier and they were often accompanied by graphic images and videos of mutilated animals, filmed suicides, persons shot in the head... even threats of violence on occasion.   Mike's desire to share his story comes from his personal belief that all life experiences have purpose, and perhaps he can prevent this from happening to others.
