In this episode of Making Healthcare Work for You, Dr. Jennifer Fraser, author of The Bullied Brain and the upcoming The Gaslit Brain, teaches us how bullying, gaslighting, and abuse culture can manifest — and offers hope by sharing techniques to build healthier, more loving organizations with stronger leadership.

 

Some of the things we learn during this interview:

  • The three components of bullying
  • How harmful behaviors become normalized
  • Why language matters in changing systems
  • Fear vs. love in healthcare leadership

This is a powerful conversation on using brain science to build psychologically safe cultures where people can thrive.
